Syllabus

<p>1. Practice—motion for continuance arises too late after trial is begun. A motion for a continuance, after the commencement of a trial, on account of the sudden illness of the attorney of the party asking the continuance, comes too late. The remedy, if any, in such case, must be found in a motion for a new trial.</p> <p>2. New trial—on account of sudden illness of attorney. A new tidal will not be granted on account of the sudden illness of the attorney of the party, unless it appears affirmatively, from the affidavits in support of the motion, that the party asking the new trial can, on another trial, make a better showing.</p>
