Analysis
No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.
Opinion — Murray
The opinion of the Court was delivered by Mr. Chief Justice Murray.
Mr. Justice Terry concurred.
On the trial of this cause, the Court charged the jury orally, without the consent of parties.
This was error by the provisions of the first section of an Act, passed May 7, 1855, amendatory of an Act to regulate criminal proceedings. The rule prescribed by the statute is mandatory and not directory.
Judgment reversed and new trial ordered.
