Ohio & Pennsylvania Railroad v. Bradford's heirs

Opinion of the Court

The opinion of the Court was delivered by

Black, C. J.

All the exceptions here may be summed up in this: that the damages were not justified by the evidence. But we can take no notice of evidence given to the viewers. It is not and cannot be made a part of the record. It would be better not to put such evidence on the paper-books. When it is placed before us we will treat it, as we treat all other extraneous matter, and give it no attention.

Judgment affirmed.
