Opinion

Per Curiam.

In all these cases the court ought to see, from the facts laid before them, that the cause is either intricate or important, and not submit themselves to the opinion of the attorney. We want something beyond his mere affidavit. The words of the statute require this. If, indeed, there be no opposition, then the motion passes, as in other cases, of course; because the opposite party by his conduct confesses these requisites.

Motion denied.
