The Moot Court,

Moot Court last evening was held in the
law library as usual ,Coram Judge Smith ,Jr.,
State VS.. Samson Reel. j. E. Smith, for
plaintiff in error, E. H. Chandler, defen-
dant The defendant was tried upon an
indictment of murder, for killing Thomas
Stone with an axe. The defence was in
sanity, Of the species called dipsomania. At
the close of the case on the part of the
State, the defendant proceeded to examine
witnesses in support Of the defence, and
called several witnesses, not experts, who
had been for some time personally acquaint-
ed with the prisoner and previously to the
murder, and had observed his appearance,
acts and conduct, from time to time In and
about his ordinary affairs, and those facts
and circumstances the witnesses were al
lowed to state. When the question was
asked of the witness further, what was his
opinion or belief as to the sanity Of the
prisoner at the date Of the homicide, coun-
ell for State objected, not being called as an
expert, could not state his opinions or
beliefs, and that the jury we're to be left to
draw such inferences from the facts and
circumstances stated as to his sanity as
they might think proper, The court sus
tanned the objection, and defendant ex-
cepted. The jury found the defendant
guilty, and he now moves for new trial.
Plaintiff, argue. Persons not experts who
testify to facts within their knowledge, may
speak as to their opinion or belief engen-
dered by those facts.
Defendant, argue. A witness not an ex-
pert, nor subscribing witness to q will, is
not permitted to state his opinion or belief
persons sanity, although he
first states the facts and circumstances on
which It is founded.
The case was we'll argued on both sides,
showing great research, as well as sound
by both Of the participants.
