Tennessee Supreme Court September 15, 1870 (Willams v. Godfrey)

Turney, J.,

delivered the opinion of the Court.

In an action of trespass by the defendant in error against the plaintiff in error, during the impanneling of a jury, the counsel of plaintiff in error asked “for leave to poll each juror, to see whether they had formed and expressed an opinion touching the merits of the case.” The motion was overruled by the Court.
