Supreme Court of New Jersey · Decided May 15, 1812 · Pennington
3 N.J.L. 956

Murray v. M'Dougall

Opinion of the Court

Pennington J.

— It is every day’s practice to set aside

a nonsuit improperly ordered by the court, if a judge at the Circuit, has, by illegal admission or rejection of evidence, driven the plaintiff to suffer a nonsuit. I am not satisfied but that the nonsuit should be set aside, and the plaintiff re-instated; and incline to the opinion, that the plaintiff be heard on the illegality of the testimony admitted at the Circuit. Rule refused.(a)

Vide 1 Sell. 466. Burr. 2692. 1 Taunt, 10.
