Opinion

Colcock, J.

delivered the opinion of the Court.

We concur with the presiding Judge in the result of his legal views of this case ; but express no opinion as to the third ground of demurrer, which was sustained by him. It was in his discretion to grant a continuance or not; and we think his discretion was properly exercised,- for no injury could result, or any sur-prize be effected by such an amendment.
