It was ruled that the causes in which public officers, such, as the attorney-general, district attorney, and the like, are concerned, have no preference at the sittings or circuits; nor will such circumstance afford an excuse for not going to trial according to notice, or a reason to refuse judgment of nonsuit;, it being the duty of public officers to provide other counsel when they cannot themselves attend; and if they do not, it is at their peril.
