Moore v. Hammons

21 N.E. 1111, 119 Ind. 510, 1889 Ind. LEXIS 322

Opinion

Elliott, C. J. —

The appellee’s counsel insist that the assignment of errors is not properly in the record because it is pasted to the transcript. We regard this objection as too technical to prevail. Even before the adoption of the present rules the assigment of errors might be made part of the record by permanently attaching it to the transcript, for we think that when attached as a page of the transcript the assignment is “entered on the records” within the meaning of the code.

An instruction in an action by a husband for the seduction of his wife which informs the jury that the plaintiff can not recover if the wife consented to the sexual intercourse, is erroneous under any supposable state of the evidence. As the trial court gave such an instruction the judgment must be reversed.
