I. The defendants assign as error that the court erred in sustaining the motion to suppress depositions, 'But the assignment is not argued, and it must be deemed waived.

■ III. The grounds for a continuance were that after the suppression of their deposition they were left without evidence; that it was not their fault, nor the fault of counsel, that an irregularity had occurred in the notices for taking the deposition; that Mr. J. H. Scales was their only attorney; that on account of a pressure of business and absence from home he was obliged to entrust the drawing and service of the notices to a clerk, who made the mistake.

It is not easy for attorneys in large practice to avoid, at all times, commit, ting oversights. But those who have the fortune to have more work than they can do must expect to suffer the misfortunes which are incident thereto. Courts cannot properly grant them indulgence where it would result in any considerable inconvenience, delay and expense to the parties against whom they are employed. Some discretion may doubtless be allowed to a court in a case of this kind. No inflexible rule, we think, can be laid down. But we see nothing in this case which calls for our interference.
