5 Binn. 353; 1812 Pa. LEXIS 70

Commonwealth v. Sprenger

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

There certainly are inconveniences arising from delay in a case of .this kind; but we must not permit ourselves to overthrow well established principles of law, to facilitate a particular suit. The defendants are not in court in this suit. The rule to shew cause was intended to obtain leave to institute the action. It is now commenced by the information. The relators must proceed by venire to the next term.

Motion denied.
