Opinion of the Court

By the Chancellor.

If the answer had been filed in the . regular course of the Court, six months would have been allowed by the act of assembly, to the defendant, after replication, to take his testimony, and to prepare for a trial; but, as the defendant is in contempt, he can only be allowed to file his answer, upon condition, that the trial shall not be delayed by a general replication, which may be filed in Court.
