notice of the iIlness OF Mr.. Easton or
that the defandtn could not try the case.
At late hour last night he had sum-
moned his witnesses Mr.. Dockery furth-
er intimated IL would have been cour-
teous to have let him know the proba-
biihy OF postponement He then asks
for costs. Mr.. Hayes said Mr.. Easton
had been sick since Jan fst.
Judge Johnson thought sickness OF
counsel had long been recognized as a
valid excuse for postponIng a case and re-
fused costs.

many other attorneys thought this case

signed for the same day.
