Pincite

Opinion

Cause continued because the plaintiff was imprisoned in solitary confinement, and his counsel not permitted to see him.

Motion for a continuance. The plaintiff had been convicted of blasphemy and sentenced; at the present term, to twenty days solitary confinement, which were not yet out. When this cause was called for trial, Macbeth, of counsel for plaintiff, asked to be permitted to see his client, which the court refused; and he then moved for a continuance on this ground, which the court granted, though a trial was pressed by the defendant.
