Analysis

No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.

Opinion

The opinion of the Court was delivered by HeydeneeIiDT, Justice, with whom Murray, Chief Justice, concurred.

The error relied on in this case is the refusal of a continuance. The affidavit discloses no diligence on the part of the applicant; but independent of that question, the proof which was designed to be obtained by the delay, would constitute no defence against the present plaintiffs. • The application was therefore properly refused; and the judgment is affirmed, with costs.
