Johnson v. Silletoe
Superior Court of Delaware · Decided July 5, 1837
2 Del. 305

Counsel

Mr. Bayard, Gray, for plaintiff., J. A. Bayard,, for defendant.

Johnson v. Silletoe

Opinion of the Court

The Court

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.

Cause continued.
