The record presents the case of a promise in writing, on the part, of the defendant, Ridgeway, to pay th.e
The witness Reese was interested, but in favor of the plaintiff, p¡nd against the defendant, whq introduced hirp, As Ridgeway could not, by the assumption of this debt, have made Reese his debtor nolens volens, and as he assumed to pay it without any request of Reese, the latter would, not, in the event a recovery had been effected against Ridgeway, have been liable, to refund to Ridge-way ; but he was interested in having the demand he owed Beall & Co. paid. So that it is clear he had no such interest as disqualified him from testifying in favor, of the defendant, and, the-court did not err in refusing to reject hipi as a.witness. Lpt the, judgment be affirmed.
