View by Jury of place where offence committed
215. Whenever the Judge thinks that the jury should view the place in which the offence is alleged to have been committed or any other place in which any other transaction material to the trial is alleged to have occurred the Judge shall make an order to that effect, and the jury shall be conducted in a body under the care of an officer of the court to such place which shall be shown to them by a person appointed by the Judge. Such officer shall not except with the permission of the Judge permit any other person to speak to or hold any communication with any member of the jury, and unless the court otherwise directs they shall when the view is finished be immediately conducted back into court. |
