134 Minn. 382 | Minn. | 1916
Action to recover for injuries sustained by the plaintiff in a collision with the defendant’s automobile. There was a verdict for the plaintiff. The defendant appeals from the order denying his motion for a new trial.
We are cited to Congdon v. Howe Scale Co. 66 Vt. 255, 29 Atl. 253. It was there held that a plaintiff testifying as to the extent of his injuries might be questioned on cross-examination as to accident insurance held by him and payments received on account of it. The ruling was put upon the ground that it is proper to show upon cross-examination the interest, motive, inclination and prejudice of a witness. It was not held that its rejection would be error.
Order affirmed.
