Travis v. Waters

Opinion of the Court

The Chancellor.

The general rule is as stated by the counsel for the plaintiffs ; but a rehearing is usually granted, if there be colourable ground for the application. Even in cases of decrees for costs only, there are exceptions to the general rule ; and it is so admitted in one of the cases referred to. The facts alleged- in the petition for a rehearing, in this case, are such as to render it proper and expedient that the case should he reconsidered.

Motion granted.
