U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Maine October 15, 1847 (Mason v. Crosby)

WOODBURY, Circuit Justice.

At the hearing of the exceptions in this case, a motion to introduce further evidence in their support was made by the complainants, and overruled. But if that disposition of it had, on maturer consideration, been found to be improper, we would still admit the evidence before deciding on the exceptions. But we think the ruling was right under all the circumstances.
