“... with reasonable certainty, and there must be a substantial showing that [the records] contain evidence relevant and material to the issue. If the specification is so broad and indefinite as to be oppressive and in excess of the demandant's necessities, the subpoena is not sustainable. [ 2 N.J. at 556 ].”

2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. State v. Sullivan · State v. Bunk““First, the statute is imperative in its command that, if the accused be found guilty, the jury shall determine whether the offense be murder in the first degree or in the second degree; and secondly, we have no way of knowing from the verdict as rendered whether the issue of degree was even considered by the jury, much less determined. The accused is subject to the extreme penalty only in case there shall be a conviction of murder in the first degree in specific terms, unattended by a recommendation of life imprisonment; and the infliction of the death penalty upon a mere verdict of ‘guilty’ is wholly nugatory.””
