Opinion
If a party wants more time to plead, he must apply to a judge at his chambers to enlarge the rule. This is stated to be an application in favour of bail, but it should be remembered that the cases of bail to which the court are particularly indulgent, are, where bail wants time to surrender the principal, but here he comes to defend the suit, and, therefore, stands in the same situation with any other defendant.
Motion denied.
