People v. Wong Chow

People v. Wong Chow
California Supreme Court · Decided October 3, 1884
2 Cal. Unrep. 382; 4 P. 763

People v. Wong Chow

Opinion of the Court

By the COURT.

The eleventh instruction which the defendant requested to be given, and the court refused to give, to the jury, suggested a theory of the case which was not suggested by any of the instructions given, and we think the court erred in refusing to give it. The evidence, in our opinion, entitled the defendant to have that instruction given.

Judgment and order reversed, and cause remanded for a new trial.
