Opinion

McCulloch v. Debutts. When the -writ of inquiry is set aside by the defendant, the plaintiff may have the cause continued at the defendant’s costs. Mr. Youngs, for the defendant, set aside the office judgment, and pleaded not guilty. Mr. E. J. Lee, for the plaintiff, elected a continuance, and said it was the practice in such cases that the continuance should be at the costs of the defendant, although the defendant offered ready. [MAJORITY — The Court] The Court inquired of the clerk, who said such was the practice. Continued, at the costs of the defendant.
