State v. . Royal

90 N.C. 755

Opinion

Ashe, J.

There is no principle of law better settled in this ■state than that evidence impeaching their verdict must not come from the jury, but must be shown by other testimony. State v. McLeod, 1 Hawks, 344; State v. Smallwood, 78 N. C., 560; State v. Brittain, 89 N. C., 481.

It is therefore ordered that the motion for a new trial be ■overruled, and that the superior court of Cumberland county proceed to judgment against the defendant agreeably to this •opinion according to law.

No Error.

Affirmed.
