Counsel

Spencer, Van Vechten

Jackson v. Brown

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The excuse is sufficient to prevent granting the judgment applied for,(a) but the plaintiff must pay the costs of not proceeding to trial. It was a misfortune, it is true, that the parties should have been afflicted with sickness, but it is a misfortune that ought not to fall on the defendant.

Motion denied on paying costs.

Lewis, Ch. J., absent.
