Opinion
THE COUKT (nem. con.) said that the record of the default of the witness at November term was not evidence of a breach of the recognizance by not appearing, unless there was a record of a respite, &c., and even then it was doubtful whether the breach assigned should not be that the witness had departed without leave of the court. Verdict for the defendant.
