of Castell v. Fleming , 3 S.C.L. 463 ( 1804 )

Per Curiam.

( U1 the judges present, except Lee, J.)

The’ ru|e ()† court been too rigidly expounded. It was not intended to dimisg tiom the den ket, at all events, causes which shall be standing on it tor four terms. Good reasons may be shewn, why a cause should be contiued for a rriuch longer time. If the parties consent, there can he reason why the cause should not be con; tinned. The rule a as made for the benefit and convenience of the parties, rattier than of the court.

Motion allowed.
