John L. Crandell, for appellant., Mark Duntz, for respondent.

Howell v. Cappelli

Opinion of the Court

L ANDON, J.

The plaintiff having failed to appear upon the adjourned day, either in person or by attorney or agent, we think the statute required the justice to render a judgment of nonsuit, with costs against him. Code Civ. Proc., §§ 3013, 2861. We do not think, in view of the statement made by the person representing the defendant, that he consented to the adjournment.

Judgment reversed, with costs.

All concur.
