Pallis v. Kusumi

Washington Supreme Court
Pallis v. Kusumi, 108 Wash. 641 (Wash. 1919)
184 P. 789; 1919 Wash. LEXIS 895

Pallis v. Kusumi

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The only point urged as entitling the appellants to a new trial is that respondent’s counsel overstepped the bounds of propriety in asking certain questions of the appellants while on the witness stand. The record, in our judgment, shows nothing prejudicial to the appellants’ interest to have occurred, and whatever irregularities there may have been were corrected by prompt and adequate instructions by the court to the jury.

Judgment affirmed.
