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

The Court.

There was no misconduct of the jury in this case. It never separated.

When the jury went to view the premises, the judge of the court should have gone along with them. It was the right of defendant to have the judge accompany the jurors when they went to take this view. As the judge did not do this, the judgment and order denying a new trial must be reversed, and the cause remanded, that a new trial may be had.

Ordered accordingly..

Paterson, J., and McFarland, J., dissented.
