Opinion

majority opinion

Decided in this case that the filing of a bill is not the com-men cement of a suit; but that a suit is commenced in this court by the issuing and service of the subpoena, or making a bona fide attempt to serve it, after the bill has been filed. Order of the vice chancellor affirmed, with costs.
