There is nothing in the record showing that the Circuit Court unsoundly exercised its discretion in permitting the sheriff to amend his return to the summons; nor did it err in refusing to set aside the interlocutory judgment: there was not the semblance of an excuse shown by the plaintiff in error for its failure to appear and answer within the... |

The main, if not the only difficulty in the will which is now presented to us for construction, has arisen from the dissent of the widow from it. The whole scope of the will prior to the tenth item, in providing for the testator's family, is manifestly framed upon the supposition of the continued existence of his wife, as a widow. He foresaw that... |

Where a party is not ready to go on with a reference, a motion to continue should be made before the commissioner, and it is irregular to pass him by and make the motion before the Court.
