Townsend v. Lee

Townsend v. Lee
New York Supreme Court · Decided August 15, 1808
3 Johns. 435

Counsel

Richardson, for the plaintiff in error., E. Williams, contra.

Townsend v. Lee

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The justice having once adjourned the cause for three months, at the request of the defendant, he could not, afterwards, grant a second adjournment, at the request of the same party.

In the case of Easton v. Coe, (2 Johnson, 383.) the first adjournment was with the consent of the parties, and not fay order of the justice. The judgment must be affirmed.

Judgment affirmed.
