New York Supreme Court · Decided January 15, 1842
2 Hill & Den. 317

Counsel

J. Rug 'cr, for the prisoner,, T. Jenkins, (district attorney,) for the people.

Carter v. People

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

We think the court below erred. Upon the principle established in The People v. Rector, (19 Wend. 569,) the prisoner was entitled to the benefit of the proof offered, and there must be a new trial.

Ordered accordingly.
