37 Tex. 365 | Tex. | 1873
The appellant was entitled to a special venire; he was also entitled to a copy of the indictment, and a copy of the names of the jurors summoned, and it was error in the court to rule him to trial, without a strict compliance with the law in this behalf.
It was further error in the court to refuse the appellant the right to cross-examine a witness for the State, who had left the stand, but whom it was proposed to recall for the purpose of laying the foundation for evidence proving that she had made contradictory statements out of court.
The judgment of the District Court is reversed, and the cause remanded.
Reversed and remanded.
