An order of notice shall be issued, returnable, at the election of the party who takes out the same, subject to the requirements of service, at any return day within three months from the date thereof. An order of notice returnable at any date other than a regular return day may issue if the Court finds that justice so requires.

    126. In all cases, except libels for divorce and petitions affecting the marriage relation, where attested copies are required, copies attested by the attorney for the party shall be sufficient.


    127. Every order of notice shall contain an order on the defendant to file within thirty (30) days after the return day, his plea, answer or demurrer, and to deliver a copy thereof to the plaintiff's attorney; otherwise the bill, libel or petition will be taken pro confesso.

In all cases of notice by publication where the time may be fixed by the Court, the order shall be for publication in some paper or papers named by the Court in general or special orders, once a week for three successive weeks, the last publication to be not less than fourteen (14) days before the return day.

Any such writ shall be entered without charge and will be filed with and as part of the action which it aids.
