Gale v. Barnes

Curia. The defendant was too late in his application for a venire. An investigation had commenced. In Olney v. Bacon, (1 John. 142) the Justice had merely inspected the account, and the Court said the trial had not commenced.

Judgment affirmed, (a) Footnotes [(a)] And vid. Bayless v. Crany, ante, 86,
