Duane v. Simmons

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
Duane v. Simmons, 4 Yeates 441 (Pa. 1807)

Duane v. Simmons

Opinion of the Court

It was submitted to the court without argument, whether this finding was sufficient or not.

■ The court, in the absence of the chief justice, declared their opinion, that the issue was substantially found una voce. All the jurors assented to the verdict, when they appeared in court; and the suggestions of the three jurors concerning the defendant’s guilt, is at most but surplusage.

Judgment for the defendant.
