Sweet v. Avaunt
2 S.C.L. 492
Sweet v. Avaunt
Opinion of the Court
The court was of opinion, after hearing the case stated, that this kind of testimony was improper to be given to a Jury; as there was no telling what influence it might have Upon their minds ; and, therefore, it ought to be excluded entirely, unless to prove a notice, under some of our acts of assembly; or, for publishing a libel, or the like. Therefore, a new trial was ordered, but without costs.
