Defended

Defended, the word 'defended' clearly includes the exercise of the right so long as the effect of the arrest continues.

Leave to defend. The repealed (English) Bills of Exchange Act, 1855 (18 & 19 Vict.c.67), commonly called 'Keating's Act,' allowed actions on bills or notes commenced within six months after being due, to be by writ of summons in a form provided by the Act, and, unless the defendant should within twelve days obtain leave to appear and defend the action, allowed the plaintiff to sign judgment on proof of service. This procedure was retained by the (English) Judicature Act, 1875, Ord. II., r. 6, but abolished in 1880 by Ord. II., r. 6 (annulled 1917).By (English) R.S.C. 1883, Ord.
