Moore v. Holland
Supreme Judicial Court of Maine
Moore v. Holland, 36 Me. 14 (Me. 1853)
Shepley
Moore v. Holland
Opinion of the Court
This Court has decided that, in our practice, no rule exists by which a party is prevented from introducing cumulative testimony upon any point after he has rested his case and testimony has been introduced by his opponent; while the right of the Court is recognized, (in the exercise of its judicial discretion,) to enforce such a rule after giving seasonable notice that it will be enforced. In this case such a rule appears to have been enforced, and testimony material to sustain the plaintiff’s case appears to have been excluded, without previous notice of such a rule.
Exceptions sustained. Verdict set aside and new trial granted.
