other strong testimony was heard in open

They declared that no effect was pro-

the same declaration.
The judge gave his opinion on satur-

court must be governed b. general pin
ciples, and that whenever illegal or un-

read on criminal trials, the effect Of that
evidence could MT be enqsIred into
The verdict was therefore set aside, and
a new trial awarded. This will take
