Mississippi State Highway Commission v. Dodson
Mississippi Supreme Court
1Opinion of the CourtSidney Smith, C. J.
This cause came to the court below, as did the case of Mississippi State Highway Commission v. Loper et al. (Miss.), 33 So. (2d) 288, on appeal from an eminent domain court, and they were, by agreement, tried in the court below at the same time, before the same jury, and are embraced in the same record in this Court. The trouble we have had in referring the evidence in the record to the case to which it was addressed, and which the jury also must have had, causes us to register our disapproval of this practice, but as the appellant agreed thereto, we will not reverse on this account.
