GOUGH VS. CRANE. 121 Though the Act of 1841, oh. 163, does not apply to the Court of Chancery, or require objections to the jurisdiction to be made at any particular stage of the case, yet its policy and the manifest justice of the provision, may have influence when a question not free from difficulty is presented.
