Opinion

The Court.

If a cause has not been put to issue at a preceding term, it is not regularly for trial, unless it be the fifth court since its commencement, in which case it must, by Act of Assembly, be disposed of, and cannot be continued. But in this case of a material amendment by the plaintiff, it must be considered as a new cause at the last term, and the issue not being made up, the defendant is entitled to a continuance.
