Hoyt v. Gelston & Schenck , 8 Johns. 179 ( 1811 )

Per Curiam.

The cause in the district court has been unnecessarily delayed on the part of the public prosecutor ; for the officers of the United States may, in case of the sickness of the judge of the district court, remove the cause into the circuit court. An indefinite imparlance, therefore, is unreasonable, and ought not to be granted.

Further time to plead was, however, given, on the motion of the defendant’s counsel, until the 1st July next.

Motion denied.
