Jessup v. Eldridge

Jessup v. Eldridge
Supreme Court of New Jersey · Decided November 15, 1795 · Cue, Kinsey
1 N.J.L. 460

Jessup v. Eldridge

Opinion of the Court

Kinsey, C. J.

If the paper had been delivered to the jury at the bar without consent', it would have been error; and—

Pee Cue.

The judgment must be reversed, because it appears that this paper, although of little or no consequence, yet relating to the cause, was delivered to the jury after they had retired, and under a deception.

Judgment reversed.

Davenport, for plaintiff in certiorari.
