Park's Lessee v. Larkin

1 Tenn. 17

Opinion

Per Curiam.

This case falls without the ordinary rules of continuances. The court will take notice of the great distance of Raleigh from this place. The defendant states that upon application he could not obtain the alteration, owing to the sickness of the Secretary.

The design of Judicial proceedings, is to do complete justice, which it appears cannot now be done in this case; and as the defendant states, that he expects to be prepared at the next term, and appear to have used reasonable exertions to obtain his evidence, Let it be continued.
