Syllabus

<p>Practice, O. P. — Trial—Charge of court — References to testimony.</p> <p>1. Where no specific complaint is made at the time of the delivery of the charge as to quotations therein from the testimony, and where the statements in the charge concerning the evidence are substantially correct and it is not likely that the plaintiff suffered any material harm in the manner in which the testimony was reviewed, an appellate court will not reverse.</p> <p>Evidence — Hearsay—Oil and gas leases — Cross-examination.</p> <p>2. The admission of evidence which might have been excluded as hearsay, does not constitute reversible error where it throws little, if any, light upon the point in controversy at the trial.</p> <p>3. A case will not be reversed by the appellate court for an exclusion of testimony, sought to be elicited by cross-examination, upon a point not testified to by the witness in chief and not relating to any issue in the case.</p>
