Supreme Court of Alabama January 15, 1840 (Hill v. Gayle)

COLLIER, C. J.

— It has been repeatedly held, that an application for the continuance of a cause,, addresses itself to the, discretion of the court, and is to be determined by a proper regard to the circumstances of the case, and the character of the application. And this discretion, whether wisely, or unwisely exercised, can never be revised in an appellate tribunal.
