about_o in_o those_o court_n it_o have_v not_o be_v usual_a to_o adjourn_v the_o court_n after_o evidence_n give_v nay_o it_o have_v be_v sometime_o a_o question_n whether_o the_o judge_n in_o those_o

though_o i_o know_v the_o point_n be_v now_o settle_a and_o the_o practice_n be_v that_o they_o may_v and_o do_v but_o this_o be_v most_o certain_a after_o the_o evidence_n give_v the_o jury_n can_v
