Head Matter:
(Superior Court of Cook County.)
Anonymous.
(January 5, 1878.)
Continuance. By stipulation of counsel after a suit is set down for trial by the court.
Plaintiff’s counsel asked for a continuance until the following morning at 10 a. m.

Opinion:
Gary, J.:
The case has been set for trial and I have no right of my own motion to grant a continuance. If you will stipulate for a continuance you may arrange it between yourselves. If you will stipulate not to non-suit, the other side can safely consent to a continuance.
Mr. Stores : We will stipulate not to non-suit or get beat either.
Gary, J.: You had better stipulate not to non-suit first.
Mr. Stores : We will, your honor.
