93 N.C. 97 | N.C. | 1885
It is settled by the ruling in Carson v. Dellinger,
The authorities are therein discussed and the principles deduced, from which we have no disposition to depart, are decisive of the present appeal.
(99) Nor can we entertain the same motion, made originally in this Court, because additional evidence, merely cumulative, has been obtained since the appeal. This might lead to the anomalous result of a judgment here in direct conflict with an unreversed judgment in the Superior Court.
The defendant should have produced his evidence upon his motion in that court, and must abide the result of his application there.
The matter is res adjudicata, and cannot be reopened here. Sanderson v.Daily,
We do not comment on the singular fact that the client's mental unsoundness was not detected in his communications with counsel, nor in his giving his testimony on the trial, since this was for the consideration of the trying judge, whose conclusions are final.
There is no error, and this will be certified to the court below.
No Error. Affirmed.
