SHAW v. WALLACE

U.S. Supreme Court
Sep 1, 1792

THIS cause was set down for trial; but was afterwards continued by the plaintiff. The defendant's attorney, prayed a rule might be granted for security for costs, the plaintiff residing in New-York. Moylan, objected, that the motion came too late, after the cause had been marked for trial.

But, BY THE COURT: — It is never too late to grant the rule, when it will not delay the trial.

Rule granted.
