King and Pickerell v. W. P. Shaw.
    In cases under the lien law, the Court will not oblige the defendant to plead at the return term.
    This cause stood on the appearance-docket No. 372.
    
      Mr. C. Cox, for the plaintiff,
    stated that it was a case under the lien law of March 2d, 1833; and moved the Court for a rule on the defendant to plead at this term; because the lien could continue only two years from the commencement of the building, and if the plaintiff should not get judgment within the two years he would lose the lien.
   But the Court

(nem. con.) refused to grant the rule.
