• 71 Ill. 11

Syllabus

<p>1.. Continuance—diligence to obtain witness. A motion for a continuance is properly refused when the application is based on the absence of a material witness, and it does not appear that the party exercised reasonable diligence to have the witness subpoenaed to appear on the day the cause was set for trial.</p> <p>2. Evidence—secondary, on, notice to produce original. There is no error in admitting as evidence copies of letters relating to a contract, upon proof that they are copies, and of a notice to the opposite party, to whom they were sent, to.produce the originals.</p>
