Head Matter:
Merrill and another vs. Rollin.
Wbit of Ebbob. A writ of error will not lie to an order overruling a motion for a continuance.
The case is stated in the opinion of the court.
J. U. Knowlton, for plaintiffs in error.
John OatUn, for defendant in error.

Opinion:
Miller, J.
At the first term a demurrer was filed by defendants. At the second term the plaintiff obtained leave to amend his declaration, when the defendant pleaded issuably and filed an affidavit and motion for a continuance. The affidavit is in the form prescribed by the rules of court for the continuance of a cause at the first term.
It is well settled that a writ of error does not lie upon an order overruling a motion for a continuance. The order of the court in this instance, was strictly correct. There is no error on the record, and the judgment must be affirmed, with costs.
