The judge exercised discretion to adjourn the trial because the plaintiff's unexpected death constituted exceptional circumstances; no specific prejudice to defendants was shown and fairness required allowing the Executors reasonable time to prepare substitute evidence; accordingly the trial was vacated and the plaintiff (estate) ordered to pay defendants' costs of the adjournment and costs thrown away, taxed party and party if not agreed.
