Supreme Court of South Carolina November 15, 1812 (State v. Files)

Brevard, J.

My opinion is, that this motion ought to be re', jected. On the argument, the only ground insisted on, was, the re. fusal of the Court of General Session for Newberry district, tar postpone the trial, on affidavits which stated the absence of material witnesses for the prisoner, who were beyond the limits of this State.
