Judgment of the Court — MARTLAND J.
The judgment of the Court was delivered by
MARTLAND J.—I agree with the view expressed by the majority of the Court of Appeal that, in the circumstances of this case, there was no error of law in the decision of the trial judge in declining to grant a further adjournment of the trial on November 28, 1977. The power to grant or refuse an adjournment was one which could be exercised at the discretion of the trial judge. The appellant has not established that in the exercise of his

discretion the trial judge failed to act in accordance with proper legal principles.
I would dismiss the appeal.
Appeal dismissed.
Solicitors for the appellant: Hogan, Ritchie & Co., Vancouver.
Solicitors for the respondent: Regional Crown Counsel, Vancouver.
