Opinion

majority opinion

The Vice-Chancellor.

I consider the defendant, Jacob Blackwell, cannot be compelled to put in an answer. He has conformed to the provisions of the 191st rule; and by doing so, admits he has property. The complainant, consequently, can take the bill fro confessa and have a receiver appointed to take charge of it; and the defendant can be put to as severe a scrutiny before a master as in answering. Motion denied.
