Syllabus

<p>Where the defendant himself requested the court to charge the jury that they would find the meaning of the words “current money,1’ and, if the deposit was Confederate money, they would find the value of the same and render a verdict accordingly, the defendant will not be heard to complain that the court had given a charge of similar import.</p> <p>Where, the party moved for a new trial on the ground of newly-discovered evidence, but that evidence was only cumulative of facts already proved, and would not have changed the result, a new trial was properly refused. The court does not judicially know that a certificate of deposit dated May 12, 1862, for §300, deposited in “current money,’’ meant Confederate treasury notes.</p>
