Head Matter:
STEELMAN against COX.
OH GEETIOBABI.
This cause had been adjourned several times, carrying it much beyond the fifteen days allowed by law; [f] but it had been done by consent; on the last meeting, on an adjournment by consent, the justice [694] adjourned the cause from the 11th to the 25th of November, as he says by his own authority. This was assigned for error.

Opinion:
By the Court
The adjournment cannot be carried beyond fifteen days, with consent. There is not fifteen days given for adjournment, after the adjournments by consent.
Judgment reversed.
