2 D.C. 636

Melvin v. Lackland

Decided December 15, 1825

<p>No paper can be read in evidence to the jury without the leave of the Court.</p>

Decided 1825-12-15

The Court(Morsell, J., absent,)

¶1was divided in opinion upon its admissibility. The question then occurred as to the effect of this division of opinion, that is, whether the paper should be read or rejected.

¶2The Court agreed, that no paper can be read in evidence to the jury, without the leave of the Court; and, as the Court could not agree to admit it to be read, it must be considered as rejected. The paper was not read.
