Opinion:
Barculo, Justice
Held, in this case, that an order for a stay of proceedings to enable a party to make a special motion, could only extend to the first special term, held in the county where the suit was pending, or in an adjoining county. The party making the motion could not stay his adversary's proceedings until the next special term in the county where the suit was pending, if in the mean time there should be a special term in an adjoining county.
