¶1The case of Loree vs. Reeves, 2 Mich. 133, we think is in point in this case. We have no doubt that, in a suit commenced by attachment against a non-resident, the Court may, in the exercise of a sound discretion, set aside the judgment, and permit the defendant to plead to the declaration, where he has had no notice of the proceeding against him in season to make his defense, and has been guilty of no laches.
