Macomber v. Clarke

Opinion of the Court

The CouRT (Thruston, J., absent,) said that there must be an order of the Court for the production of the papers, which order must be served upon the party a reasonable time before the time for producing them; and that the party must have reasonable notice of the motion for the order.

On motion of Mr. Coxe, and with the assent of the defendant’s counsel, a juror was withdrawn, and the cause continued ; the Court said it must be without costs, as the defendant had elected a continuance.
