Commonwealth v. Cannon

97 Mass. 337 | Mass. | 1867

Hoar, J.

1. The evidence rejected was not in any respect material to the defence.

2. If the fact of payment had been material, that fact was admitted in evidence. The receipts were merely the written acknowledgments of a third party, and, not being in themselves proof of the fact against the Commonwealth, added no weight to the testimony admitted. Exceptions overruled.
