Decided 1861-10-29

The Court

¶1held that the application was too late. The object of requiring notice to be given of the writ, is that the defendant in error may be apprised of the proceedings which are being taken; and when he is otherwise informed, and does not move promptly to take advantage of the omission, he will be held to have waived the objection.
