Opinion

Submitted October 26, 1934 —

Decided January 10, 1935.

The granting or refusing of a rehearing on the ground of newly discovered evidence is a matter wholly in the discretion of the Supreme Court, and is not reviewable on appeal.

On prosecutor's appeal from the Supreme Court, whose per curiam opinion is printed in 12 N.J. Mis. R. 516; 172 Atl. Rep. 797.

For the appellants, William Newcorn.

For the respondents, Saul Nemser.


As to the merits of the original decision, we concur in the result reached by the Supreme Court, and for the reasons given in the per curiam opinion of that court.

Application was made in the Supreme Court for a rehearing, on the ground, in substance, of newly discovered evidence to show what the evidence before the original trial body had been; and that application was denied. A reversal of that denial is now sought in this court. We need only say that the granting or refusal of a rehearing was a matter wholly within the discretion of the Supreme Court, and is not reviewable here.

The judgment of the Supreme Court is affirmed, with costs.

For affirmance — THE CHANCELLOR, PARKER, LLOYD, CASE, BODINE, DONGES, PERSKIE, VAN BUSKIRK, KAYS, HETFIELD, DEAR, WELLS, JJ. 12.

For reversal — None.
