Opinion
THE COURT were of opinion, that it was dangerous to take the affidavits of jurors as to mistakes of calculations, &c.; but on reading the affidavits, there did not appear to have been an error in the foreman’s calculation. and a new trial was refused. THE COURT, however, wished it not to be considered as giving a sanction to the practice of taking such affidavits of jurymen.
