Opinion

Per Curiam.

The affidavits show that there is no ground on which the Court could grant a new trial. The Defendant Barfield, neglected the case from the beginning, on very insufficient reasons, whereby a default was taken against him ; and afterwards on the trial, in - curred the risk of a counsel’s attendance who did not practise in the Court, while he was told of others that would be in attendance. To award a new trial for the reasons here offered, were to encourage inattention, and promote litigation.
