THE COURT.
An appellate court may not on direct appeal from a judgment take judicial notice of or consider matters that were not considered by the trial court, especially hearsay declarations inadmissible in the trial court and not in existence at the time of trial. (People v. Pearson, 70 Cal.2d 218, 221-222, fn. 1 [74 Cal.Rptr. 281, 449 P.2d 217]; see also Evid. Code, § 459.)
Appellant’s petition for a hearing by the Supreme Court was denied June 13, 1973.
