The trial of Ian Anthony Anderson will now start on Monday March 16.
Mr Anderson, aged 46, formerly of Queen Street, Castletown, has denied a charge of murder in relation to Neil Roberts, aged 60, of Ballabeg.
The offence is alleged to have taken place at Queen Street in Castletown in December 2013.
Mr Anderson is remanded in custody.
The trial did begin on Monday, March 4, but was halted two days later, when the jury was dismissed.
Deemster Alastair Montgomerie told them: ‘Sometimes in cases matters arise which result in the court having to discharge a jury from hearing a case and this is one of those cases.’
