Opinion of the Court

By the- Court :

—The objection is not sufficient to justify the refusal of a -motion for a special Court. The. Legislature intended to relieve defendants, who were ready ready and willing to proceed to trial; and accelerating a decision cannot possibly in*112jure the plaintiffs, unlefs some material witness is absent ; which has not been pretended in the present case; The rule for a special Court must, therefore, be granted.
