Supreme Court of North Carolina January 5, 1879 (State v. . Blackburn)

Ashe, J.

Since the argument of this case, a petition has been presented to this court for a

certiorari

to supply alleged omissions in the statement of the case made out by the judge before whom it was tried. To grant the petition, would establish a precedent for a practice that would lead to the greatest confusion and uncertainty in the administration of the criminal law.
