Hallock v. Randall

Headnote

Gross-examination —power of judge at circuit to limit.

Appeal from a judgment in favor of the deféndant, entered upon the verdict of a jury, and from an order denying a motion for a new trial.

The only question presented by the appeal, related to the exclusion of a question; asked upon the cross-examination of. a witness. The General Term held, that “ The question referred to, is one of

that class which it is not error to admit or reject; there was so much testimony in the case, from different witnesses, that the judge at circuit might exercise the power in his judicial discretion, of limiting all examinations and cross-examinations within reasonable bounds.”
