State v. Shaw , 1 Root 134 ( 1789 )

A motion was made, after the evidence for the state was through, to introdiice said attendants as witnesses, against whom there was no evidence, but their going with Shaw by his command to the house. The court took time to consider of it, and was of opinion that their going with Shaw by his command, and being present when he broke said doors, under the circumstances was doing nothing that was unlawful; and they were admitted, and the defendants found not guilty, and dismissed without cost.
