Opinion
Fall Sessions, 1837.
MOTION for a continuance.
Macbeth, for plaintiff.
Booth and Wales, for defendant.
The plaintiff had been convicted of blasphemy and sentenced, at the present term, to twenty days solitary confinement, which were not yet out. When this cause was called for trial, Macbeth, of counsel for plaintiff, asked to be permitted to see his client, which the court refused; and he then moved for a continuance on this ground, which the court granted, though a trial was pressed by the defendant.
