Head Matter:
Bennett’s Executors v. James H. Bennett.
A notice given at the trial term, in Alexandria, that security for costs will he required, is no ground for postponing the trial.
Mr. Neale, for the defendant,
now, at the trial term, gave notice to the plaintiff that he should require security for costs.
Mr. Taylor
objected that this notice ought not to delay the trial; the defendant having obtained continuances of the cause, and not having given a previous notice, according to the act of Virginia, p. Ill, § 23.
Mr. Lee,
the clerk, stated that the practice of the Court was not to delay trial when the notice was not given before the trial term.

Opinion:
The Couet (nem. con.) refused to delay the trial. Verdict for the defendant.
