| Rescript. Whereas, mass of evidence,
principally documentary, has been intro
duced against objection, in the trial of a
cause, although iuapplicable and irreve-
liant to the issue, is of a character plainly
calculated to mislead the jury or predju-
dice them against the losing party, a new
trial will be granted. Exceptions sus-
tanned.
