Davis v. Mobley.
    Practice. Justices’ courts. Evidence.
    1. On the trial of an appeal in a justice’s court, it is not error in the magistrate to allow a promissory note, the foundation of the action, to he read in evidence pending the argument to the jury. Such allowance is virtually reopening the case for that purpose, and the opposite party, if desirous of doing so, would he permitted to introduce further evidence also.
    2. The other grounds in the petition are not sufficient to require a new trial in the magistrate’s court.

    From Montgomery superior court. October term, 1890. Before Judge Roberts.
