Coats
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania

Two witnesses, who had been duly served with a Subpoenia, were brought before the Court upon an attachment; but having satisfactorily proved, that they were so much indisposed, as to be utterly incapable of attending in obedience to the Subpoena, they were discharged.
And, by the Court: As we do not find these persons in contempt,
