Wiest v. Critsinger
Wiest v. Critsinger
4 Johns. 117
Opinion of the Court
An adjournment made by the justice, absent from the place where the court was appointed to be held, and in the absence of the parties, and by a note in writing without his signature, was clearly not an adjournment of which the parties were bound to take notice.
The cause was, consequently, discontinued and out of court. The subsequent proceeding was null, and the judgment must be reversed.
