• 5 Cal. 148

Syllabus

<p>After the jury have once retired, it is error to allow them to come into Court and receive instructions in the absence of the parties or their counsel.</p> <p>Such instruction will be considered important if the contrary is not shown, from the very tact that the jury have asked for them.</p> <p>The certificate of the Judge of the Court below is a sufficient authentication of a statement on appeal and where a party does not think proper to file amendments, or the Judge to correct the statement, the certificate of that fact by the Judge is all that is necessary.</p>
