FRASER-SMITH V. SASSOON.
In this suit, which is an action for damages on account of insanitary drains, Mr. Holmes on behalf of plaintiff again applled for an adjourn- raent. He had filed affidavits in support of the application, and now repeated his request for an adjournment for ten weeks.
His Lordship said he had not seen the
affidavits. ›
Mr. Hastings said that they were entirely Insufficient. There was one affidavit from Dr. Cantlle saying that Mr. Fraser-Smith was advised by him early this year to get sway for two months hollday. That was all. There was no statement that he was suffering from any illness, or compelled to leave the Colony. There was another affidavit by Mr. Maclean saying that he expected him to return in ten weeks. But there was no affidavit that he was suffering from any disease. The proper cause would have been for plaintiff to apply for examination de bene essa, and not to go away and leave his solicitor to ask for so adjournment for tea weeks. He submitted that most improper course had been pursued, and the caso ought to be withdrawn, leave being given to plaintiff to bring a fresh action if ever he returned to the Colony,

His Lordship thought Dr. Cantlie's affidavit ansatisfactory,
Mr. Holmes admitted that it was not as strongly worded as he would have liked, but it showed that he was obliged to go away, and the other affidavit said that at the time of als depar ture he was not well.
Mr. Hastings said it was very inconvenient to the defendent and might be prejudicial to his interests to have this case hanging over him.
Mr. Holmes, submitted that "it would be merely a matter of costs.
Mr. Hastings orged that the proper course would have been to take his affidavit de bana esse, and he could have done that at any time. Not having done so, he must accept the inevitable and the case must be dismissed, with liberty to bring a fresh action-Archbold on Afidavits. He wheatured to say there was no precedent
