The London Packet, 15 U.S. 371 (1817)
4 L. Ed. 264; 2 Wheat. 371; 1817 U.S. LEXIS 413
The London Packet
Opinion
The court is of opinion that the-affidavit transmitted from, the circuit. court may be now read. But as to the new proof now offered by the claimant, it is the practice of this court to hear the cause in the first instance, upon the evidence transmitted from the circuit court, and to decide upo,n that evidence whether it is proper to allow farther proof. The new proof cannot, therefore, be now read; but, as the opposite party wishes it, the counsel may state the nature of the proof, though not the contents, thereof in detail. If the *373 ease shall ultimately appear entitled to farther proof, an order will be made for that purpose,}
Farther proof was ordered in the cause.
