Head Matter:
NICHOLSON v. WRIGHT.
Certiorari to a Justice of the Peace.
Mr. Wilson,
for the plaintiff in Certiorari moved to reverse the judgment in this case, on the ground, that before the return day of the summons, the Justice for his own convenience, adjourned the cause, and sent word to the defendant, and then, on the adjourned day, proceeded to trial in the absence of the defendant.
The counsel referred the Court to 2 Penn. Rep. 869.

Opinion:
By the Court.
Upon principle, as well as upon the authority of Halsey v. Whitlock, 2 Penn. R. 869. and several other cases decided since that, this judgment must be reversed.
Judgment reversed.
