TERRY, J. — The only error assigned is the refusal of the court to continue the cause on application of defendants. "We think the continuance was properly refused. The answer was filed on the 6th of June, 1856, and no effort was made to procure the testimony until the 2d of October, when a subpoena was issued for a nonresident witness. This was not such diligence as would authorize a postponement of the cause. Judgment affirmed. I concur: Burnett, J.
