WOODS AND BEMIS v. YOUNG


8 U.S. 237 (____)

4 Cranch 237

WOODS & BEMIS v. YOUNG.

Supreme Court of United States.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

The case was submitted to the court without argument, by Swann, for the plaintiffs, and Youngs, for the defendant.


By the Court.

The question is, whether a refusal to continue a cause can be assigned for error.

The impression of the court is, that it cannot. Has the party, by law, a right to a continuance in any case? If he has, it will have weight. Is it not merely a matter of favour and discretion?

This is a case in which this court cannot look into the merits of the question, whether the court below ought to have granted a continuance of the cause.
