Forbes v. Frary

Per Curiam.

The ,referees have a reasonable discretion as to adjournments, and they ought to have given a day to the plaintiff to produce his witnesses, as he appears to have been taken by surprise, though the court Cannot take notice of a mere verbal agreement. The referees, in the exercise of their discretion, acted unreasonably in refusing the adjournment. The report must be set aside.

Rule granted.(a)
