The question whether one name is idem sonans with another is not a question of spelling, but of pronunciation, depending less upon rule than upon usage, which, when it arises in evidence on the general issue, is for the jury and not for the court, and was rightly submitted to the jury in this case. Commonwealth v. Mehan, 11 Gray, 322, 323. Commonwealth v. Gill, 14 Gray, 400. Exceptions overruled.
