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.
This case is before us on a petition by appellant to have certain alleged exceptions included in a bill of exceptions which have been settled by the judge of the superior court, who refused to incorporate them in the bill. The matter was submitted here upon the petition, the answer of the judge and certain affidavits filed by the parties. The alleged exceptions refer entirely to certain remarks claimed to have been made by counsel for the prosecution in his closing address to the jury, but the evidence as to whether there were any such exceptions is directly conflicting. Under these circumstances we cannot hold that the superior judge erred or abused his discretion in not allowing the exceptions, nor would we be warranted in declaring here that they should be included in the bill.
The petition is denied.
