Head Matter:
Timothy Caldwell v. Walters, Executor of Moore.
If the answer be filed in term-time the Court will hear a motion to dissolve the injunction at any time upon reasonable notice. Three days’ notice, left at the office of the complainant’s solicitor, in his absence from town, is reasonable.
The bill was filed and injunction granted by Cranch, C. J., on the 18th of May, 1835. On the 3d of June the answer was filed, and on the same day notice of motion to dissolve on this day was left at the office of Z. C. Lee, the complainant’s solicitor, Mr. Lee being then absent from this city.
Mr. Coxe now moved for dissolution,
Mr. Lee not being pre-
sent, and, as it was said, not in the city.
Mr. Coxe said, that- according to the rule of this Court, or a former decision of this Court,- when the answer is filed in term-time, the Court will hear a motion to dissolve at any time, upon reasonable notice. Cranch; C. J., said he had no recollection of such a decision; but, Morsell, J., said there was such an one.

Opinion:
The Court
(Cranch, C. J., contra,)
said the notice was reasonable, and took the bill and answer to consider the motion ; and afterward dissolved the injunction.
