Thorne v. First National Bank
Thorne v. First National Bank
Opinion of the Court
Complaint is made that the court erred in excluding from the consideration of the jury-competent, material and relevant testimony. The interrogatories were competent and the court erred in sustaining the objections ; but this was not reversible error, for the reason- that questions, embracing all that was included in the excluded questions, were put in the course of the further examination of the witness and fully answered. C. B. U. P. Rly. Co. v. Andrews, 41 Kan. 870. The other testimony of the exclusion of which complaint is made, was hearsay and incompetent.
The next complaint made is with reference to the admission of evidence in regard to the Missouri store of Craig Brothers. All of the testimony shows that the witness knew nothing of such store except from hearsay. It appears that both parties took turns at introducing hearsay testimony in regard to the Missouri store, all of which was immaterial. We do not, however, apprehend that such testimony did, in any manner, affect the substantial rights of the plaintiffs in error.
Complaint is also made that the court erred in giving, and refusing to give, certain instructions. Most of the instructions refused were properly so treated because inapplicable to the testimony; so far as any
The judgment is affirmed.

- Syllabus
- 1. Evidence — erroneous exclusion of, cured by subsequent admission. The erroneous exclusion of testimony is cured by its subsequent admission. 2. -party complaining of erroneous admission of hearsay, repeatedly offering like, facts being undisputed, error not reversible. The admission of hearsay testimony over objection is erroneous; but where the party complaining, himself repeatedly offers like evidence concerning the same matter without objection, and all of the hearsay testimony tends to establish the same facts, which are undisputed, the error is not sufficient to compel a reversal of the judgment. 3. Instructions — given and refused examined, and held that no error is shown. Instructions refused and given examined, and held, that, so far as the instructions refused were applicable to the issues and evidence, they were included in the general charge given by the court to the jury. The instructions as given fairly presented to the jury the issues, and the court committed no error prejudicial to the plaintiff in refusing or giving instructions.
