Opinion
it is impossible to consider a notice of this kind sufficient, without opening á door to abuses of the most mischievous tendency. Testimony by depositions, is at best, inferior to that by witnesses, and ought to be so guarded, that the Court may have every reasonable assurance of its truth. Under a vague notice of this kind, a man might be kept three months *484 from home, if tfce witness did not appear tili the last Saturday in September. The utmost extent which has vet been allowed, is one week, where the deposition was to he taken at a great distance from the residence of the parties.
Pl5K CüKIAM.--Judgment affirmed.
