    Abstract of the Decision.
    Continuance, § 66
      
      —when refusal of motion for on ground of absence of material witness is harmless error. Refusal of the trial court to grant the defendant’s motion for a continuance on the ground oí the absence of a material witness, held not reversible error where the affidavit filed in support of the motion, though setting forth that the witness was an important witness for the defendant, that it had a good defense to the action as set forth in the affidavit of merits, that the witness could substantiate the allegations therein if he were present and that without his presence the defendant would be greatly prejudiced, did not set forth the particular facts to which such witness would testify if present at the trial, and did not show diligence on the part of the defendant to procure the attendance of such witness.
