123 Mass. 408; 1877 Mass. LEXIS 310

Commonwealth v. Fitzgerald

Opinion of the Court

By the Court.

The defendant has no ground of exception to the exclusion of the evidence offered by him. It had no tendency to prove that the witness Hill did not tell the officer that the defendant was the man who assaulted her, which was the only purpose for which it was offered. And evidence of what she told the officer had already been excluded, when offered by the Commonwealth, upon the defendant’s objection.

Exceptions overruled
