Harper v. Reily

11 F. Cas. 583 | U.S. Circuit Court for the District of District of Columbia | 1802

THE COURT

refused a continuance, because the testimony of the defendant’s witness would not be competent, on the principle that the declarations of a witness not under oath, shall not be adduced against the witness’ declarations on oath. Quaere. See Peake, Ev. 84, 85, and 3 Burrows, 1244. On motion, THE COURT granted a new trial.
