Rule *902.                 Security for Costs

 

In cases where proceedings in bankruptcy or insolvency are pending

against the plaintiff, the defendant, on filing an answer in actions in

which an answer is required, and in other actions on filing of an affidavit

of a just defense to the whole of plaintiff’s demand, may enter a rule for

security of costs. A garnishee in attachment execution may, in like

cases, enter a rule for security for garnishee’s costs, after

interrogatories and before answers are filed. In default of security

entered at the time fixed by the Court, judgment of non pros may be

entered by the Prothonotary in favor of the defendant, or the

attachment quashed in cases of attachment execution.
