37 Del. 395

State v. Thomas

New York Court of General Session of the Peace · decided 1936-01-16

Relies on 4 N.J. Misc. 629 - Anderson v. Green Cab Co.

Decided 1936-01-16

Layton, C. J.:

¶1This question ought not to be answered. The actual physical character and surroundings of the house are in evidence. One of the reasons for the admission of evidence of reputation, necessity, does not exist. It is difficult to regard the question asked other than as an attempt to prove *396a bad reputation of the defendant prior to proof, or an attempt to prove, a good reputation on his part. See State v. Still, 3 W. W. Harr. (33 Del.) 191, 133 A. 788.
