Annotations

JUDICIAL DECISIONS Refusal of continuance of appeal to jury not abuse of discretion. - Continuances are always addressed to the sound discretion of the court, and where a justice refused a continuance of an appeal

to a jury, there was no abuse of judicial discretion. Young v. Darien & W.R.R., 1 Ga. App. 317, 57 S.E. 921, 1907 Ga. App. LEXIS 227 (1907).
