JUDGE, J.

Our understanding of the evidence, as ‍‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‍it is set out in the bill of exceptions, is that the declarations of ‍‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‍the defendant were permissible as rebutting testimony. The court therefore had not the discretion ‍‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‍to impose as a condition to their introduction, that the plaintiff should first ‍‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‍examine the defendant as to whether he had ever had such a conversation.

Let the ‍‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‍judgment be reversed and the cause remanded.
