Farnham v. Anderson

Supreme Court of New Hampshire Hillsborough
May 3, 1910
76 A. 191 (N.H. 1910)

Opinion

Decided May 3, 1910.

ASSUMPSIT. Trial by jury and verdict for the plaintiff. Transferred from the January term, 1910, of the superior court by Pike, J., on the defendant's exceptions to the admission of evidence and remarks of counsel in closing argument.

Hamblett Spring and Doyle Lucier, for the plaintiff.

Walter E. Kittredge and John W. Kelley, for the defendant.


The evidence excepted to was a history of the transaction and of the conduct of the parties in relation to it. The extent of useful inquiry as to such matters is determinable by the trial court. The plaintiff did not lose her right to contradict the defendant by calling him as a witness. P.S, c. 224, s. 15.

The evidence justified the remarks excepted to; but if that were not the fact the defendant would be remediless, for the court has found that they did not produce the verdict. The defendant has not transferred the evidence; consequently his exception to that finding cannot be considered.

Exceptions overruled.
