Commonwealth v. Hickerson , 2 Va. 60 ( 1817 )

The following is the judgment:

“The Court is unanimously of opinion, that a County Court before whom a Criminal Trial is proceeding, is not bound to sign a Bill of Exceptions to an opinion or instruction given by it in any such trial, and that, therefore, the Superior Court of Law of the county of Fauquier, ought not to take notice of the Bill of Exceptions spread on the Record of the Proceedings in this Cause."
