    to continue a rule on justice to taken at the last term. It had been served on the justice, but no return made by him.

Merely to serve a rule is not enough. The party must shew that he has used due diligence to obtain the return, so that there may not be any delay. He must shew that the fault is in the justice or the other party. Rule refused.
