Syllabus

<p>Practice—Witness.—When, a witness is re-examined at the request of the jury, after their retirement and return into court, the omission of the judge to direct the witness to confine his testimony to the particular point of disagreement, and to make his statement in the language used by him in his first examination as nearly as he can, will, when the witness, in the absence of such caution, has given additional evidence, be ground for reversing a judgment of conviction.</p>
