Jackson ex dem. Mapes v. Frost

May 15, 1810
Versions:6 Johns. 135
Per Curiam.

The interest of Barton having been released before he was offered as a witness, his being implicated in the fraud, went only to his credit, and not to his competency. He was a competent witness to disprove as well as to prove the fraud. On this ground, we think a new trial ought to be granted, with costs to abide the event of the suit.

New trial granted.
