William B. Lawrence v. David P. Hall , 3 R.I. 150 ( 1855 )

The Couet

held, as the true construction of their rules, that after the expiration of the prescribed period for the filing of answers, replications and exceptions, such papers cannot be filed with effect, without express leave of the Court upon motion heard. The Court had, however, a discretionary power, which they would exercise in behalf of the complainant in this case, by granting permission to file exceptions to defendant’s answer, as of the day of this hearing.
