Morgan v. Hugg
Citations
- 5 Cal. 409
Syllabus
<p>The mere fact that the plaintiff’s counsel read, in his address to the jury, a portion of an answer which had been stricken out, is not error of itself.</p> <p>The defendant could have asked the Court to rule out the answer as testimony, and charge the jury to disregard it.</p> <p>It is not every impropriety, committed during the trial of a cause, which can be set down as error in the Supreme Court.</p> <p>Errors cannot be relied on in an appellate Court, which are not taken advantage of, and raised in the Court below.</p>
