Kittle v. Baker , 9 Johns. 354 ( 1812 )

Per Curiam.

The appearance of the constable who served the summons, being confined to the exhibition of the plaintiff’s demand, was not objectionable. The justice was authorized to adjourn the hearing of the cause, from the day of the return of the summons, to a reasonable time, “ not exceeding six days thereafter;” and as he did not exceed that time, his proceeding was not erroneous, nor does it appear to have been unreasonable.

Judgment affirmed. ^(a)
