      Sept. 11, 1838.
    
      Practice. Non-resident defendant.
    
    Where a defendant resides in the province of Nova Scotia, the order to be published for his appearance must be a nine months order.
    Motion to advertise a non-resident defendant. Mr. E. P. Hurlbut suggested that this defendant was a resident of some place in Nova Scotia ; and left it to the court to say, whether the order should require an appearance within four or nine months ?
   The Vice-Chancellor

was of opinion that this case was not embraced by the section of the statute which had reference to “ either of the provinces of Canada,” and directed the order to run “ within nine months.”
