Superior Court of Delaware

Decided July 5, 1837

Superior Court of Delaware · decided 1837-07-05

<p>Cause continued, at the first trial term, on account of the absence of a material witness out of the state, though his deposition might have been taken.</p>

Decided 1837-07-05

The Court

¶1 said that in general the purposes of justice would be better obtained by allowing a continuance in cases situated similarly with the present, than by forcing on a trial; unless it was suggested by counter affidavit that the plaintiff was in danger of losing his debt by the delay, or other special reason against the continuance.

¶2 Cause continued.
