Opinion
(Fall Riding, 1800.)
Time will be given to file exceptions to the master's report at any time during the term, when the report comes in during the term; and this extends to the last day of the term, though the court should rise sooner. The court, upon a proper application, will enlarge the time for filing exceptions, even beyond the term.
(126) THE master made up his report on the first equity day; and Haywood, counsel for Taylor, moved for time to file exceptions, which the court granted, ordering the exceptions to be filed within the term. On the next day, being that on which the court was to rise, the exceptions not being made out, the counsel for Taylor stated that they had not had time to make out the exceptions.
The rule is to give time to file exceptions at any time during the term, when the report comes in during the term; and this extends to the last day of the term, though the court should rise sooner. The court, upon a proper application, will enlarge the time for filing exceptions, even beyond the term; but I do not see in the present case but that the time already allowed is sufficient.
