Decision Date31 October 1858
Citation27 Mo. 415
PartiesBRADLEY, Defendant in Error, v. CREATH, Plaintiff in Error.
CourtMissouri Supreme Court

1. The Supreme Court will not review instructions, unless they are excepted to at the time they are given or refused.

Error to Marion Circuit Court.

T. C. Reynolds and Pratt & McCabe, for plaintiff in error.

Dryden, for defendant in error.

RICHARDSON, Judge, delivered the opinion of the court.

The only error complained of in this case is that the court refused to give an instruction asked by the plaintiff, and though it was made the ground of a motion for a new trial, it does not appear that an exception was taken at the time. It is the practice of this court not to review instructions unless they were excepted to at the time they were given or refused. (Powers v. Allen, 14 Mo. 367.)

The other judges concurring, the judgment will be affirmed.
