Colescott v. Bonwill

affirmed the judgment. If the adjournment had been general to a particular day, the justice should not enter judgment by default, until the usual time of closing business for the day; but where the adjournment is to a certain hour of the day, and so made in the presence of the defendant, or with notice to him, the justice is not bound to wait beyond that hour; otherwise, all the business before him might, by the negligence of the defendants, be postponed to the last hour; when it would be impossible to hear and determine it.

Judgment affirmed.
