Gwatkin v. Commonwealth

The judgment of the general court was as follows :

“It seems to the court here, that the judgment of the said circuit superior court is erroneous in this, that the said court refused to grant to the said Richard C. Gwatkin a continuance, at the term when the cause was tried, on the ground of the absence of the witness George A. Buckner.” Therefore, judgment reversed, verdict set aside, and cause remanded to the circuit court fora new trial.
