    Chance v. The State.
    October 21, 1895.
    Indictment for trespass. Before Judge Brown. City •court of Carroll county. June term, 1895.
    After conviction, defendant’s motion for new trial was •overruled. The material ground of the motion is, that the court erred in refusing to allow counsel additional time for argument, they stating in their place, before argument commenced, that they could not do justice to their client in thirty minutes, and asking for that much additional time. The judge states, in a note to this ground, that the counsel ■argued the case to the jury for ten minutes longer than the time allowed by the rules of court.

Judgment reversed.
