¶1said the application was premature j that the infant was allowed twenty days after the return day of the subpoena to appear, during which time he had a right to apply and obtain the appointment of a guardian ad litem for himself; and the complainant therefore must wait the twenty days before he made an application to have the register or a clerk appointed as guardian to appear and defend the suit for the infant defendant.
