Syllabus

<p>1. A continuance granted on an appeal from the Oourt of Claims, there having been a motion made there by the appellant, and yet undisposed of, for a new trial on the ground of after-acquired evidence. But the court declares that it must not be understood as giving any sanction to the idea that indefinite postponement of final hearing and determination can be obtained by repeated motions for continuance here.</p> <p>2. Thexourt below, not this court, must determine whether the application for a new trial is seasonably made.</p>
