Syllabus

<p>When the parties to a suit tried in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, at circuit, cannot agree as to the exceptions, the trial term may, under the rules, be extended into the succeeding term for the purpose of settling them; and in case the judge presiding at the trial dies without settling them, and in consequence thereof a motion be made to set aside the verdict and order a new trial, the then presiding judge in the Circuit Court may order the motion to be heard in General Term; and an order to set aside the verdict and direct a new trial made in General Term is not a final judgment from which an appeal may be taken to this court.</p>
