In general ,
when a party has been guilty of laches in enforcing his right by great delay and lapse of time ,
this circumstance will at common law prejudice ,
and sometimes operate in bar of a remedy which it is discretionary and not compulsory in the court to afford .
In courts of equity ,
also delay will generally prejudice .
