Counsel

Mr. G. W. Macpherson, for answering defendant., Mr. J. H. Baches, for complainant.

Hitchcock v. Rhodes

Opinion of the Court

The Chancellor.

Objection is made to exceptions filed to the answer that they are not signed by counsel. The rules of this court are silent upon the subject and there is no decision upon it. The English practice requires such signature. Under such circumstances that practice is to be followed, there being no statutory provision nor any regulation to forbid. West v. Paige, 1 Stock. 203.
