PEOPLE v. MOORE.

Supreme Court of Michigan

May 15, 1891

Error to circuit court, Kent county.

A. A. Ellis, Atty. Gen., for the People. Eggleston & McBride, for respondent.

GRANT, J.

The respondent was convicted of the crime of rape. The sole allegation of error is that the court erred in permitting a witness to answer certain questions. When the testimony was offered the attorney for the respondent simply said, "Objected to," without giving any reason whatever for his objection, nor was the ground of his objection reasonably apparent. The exception cannot therefore be considered. Ward v. Ward, 37 Mich. 254; Morrissey v. People, 11 Mich. 327; Stevens v. Hope, 52 Mich. 65, 17 N.W. 698; Gilbert v. Kennedy, 22 Mich. 117; Comstock v. Smith, 26 Mich. 306. The conviction and sentence are affirmed. The other justices concurred.
