[†] WALKER against KEARNEY.
ON CEETIOEABI.
Adjournment over fifteen days, cured by consent; and consent presumed if for party’s benefit.
It was moved to reverse the judgment of the justice in this case, on the ground that he had adjourned the cause beyond fifteen days. It appeared by the return of the justice, that the parties were regularlv before him on the 10th June last, when the defendant below, the plaintiff 'in this court, filed a plea of an appeal to the Supreme Court for the re-taxation of two bills of costs, which were the ground of the action below; that in consequence of this appeal, the justice adjourned the cause until the 2d day of October following. The record of the justice is silent as- to the party on whose motion the .adjournment was made.

Opinion:
By the Court.
We will intend, that as the adjournment was for the defendant's benefit, to give him time to have the bills of costs re-taxed by this court, that the adjournment was on his motion, or at least by his consent.
Judgment affirmed.
