H & M seeks a new trial because the audience was often filled with supporters of Fernandez, one of whom even walked past the bar and handed Fernandez’s lawyer a note, explaining to the astonished trial judge that she could not hear counsel’s questions on cross-examination. This incident brought no objection at the time, and in our view it does not necessitate reversal of the trial court’s denial of H & M’s motion for a new trial. Rich v. District of Columbia, supra note 3, 410 A.2d at 535-536. We find no basis in the record for H & M’s assertion that this incident indirectly amounted to calling other tenants whom the trial court would not allow to testify about the conditions of their respective apartments.16 3.Subject-matter jurisdiction
