Relevancy of facts forming part of same transaction.-Facts which, though not in issue, are so connected with a fact in issue as to form part of the same transaction, are relevant, whether they occurred at the same time and place or at different times and places.
Illustrations
(a) A is accused of the murder of B by beating him. Whatever wassaid or done by A or B or the by-standers at the beating, or so shortly before or after it as to form part of the transaction, is arelevant fact.
(b) A is accused of waging war against the 1*[Government ofIndia] by taking part in an armed insurrection in which property isdestroyed, troops are attacked and gaols are broken open. Theoccurrence of these facts is relevant, as forming part of the generaltransaction, though A may not have been present at all of them.
(c) A sues B for a libel contained in a letter forming part of acorrespondence. Letters between the parties relating to the subjectout of which the libel arose, and forming part of the correspondencein which it is contained, are relevant facts, though they do notcontain the libel itself.
(d) The question is, whether certain goods ordered from B weredelivered to A. The goods were delivered to several intermediatepersons successively. Each delivery is a relevant fact.
