Note 7 — PREFACE TO THE NOTES.

I recommend no man to attach his adversary for want of appearance or answer—let a defendant take his own time. The allowed costs of an attachment are somewhere about eight shillings and two pence, upon tendering which sum the defendant is entitled to be discharged from his contempt, although the plaintiff may have incurred an expense of 20l. in executing the process, and carrying his opponent to goal. Another instance of the propriety with which this court is denominated a “court of equity.”
