Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court October 15, 1844 (Browning v. Bancroft)

Hubbard, J.

It is objected, in this case, that there was a discontinuance of the suit in the court of common pleas, and that the court erred in directing the action to be brought forward.

We consider this point settled in the case of Commonwealth v. Moore, 3 Pick. 194, where it was held that the court had full-power to direct the continuances to be entered, and the cause to be Drought forward.
