willingness to 60 to trial in that case immedi.
atcly. asked that tho Court would fix n def
mite time for the trial. Their engagements in
the Circuit Court demanded their attendance
there at the September term, and it would be

gcStcd that it be continued to the December
term.

to the defence to finally prepare for the trial.

when they returned reasonable time would
be given to both parties to commence the case
