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
By the COURT.
— The defendant, a white man, was indicted for the crime of manslaughter. Upon the trial a Chinese witness was called by the district attorney and excluded by the court on objections made by the defendant. The defendant being acquitted, the people bring this appeal and assign as error the ruling of the court refusing to allow the Chinese witness to testify.
Upon the authority of the People v. Brady, 40 Cal. 198, 6 Am. Rep. 604, and of the People v. McGuire (No. 3372), [45 Cal. 56], decided at the present term, the judgment is affirmed.
