3 N.C. 300
State v. . Stallings

Opinion of the Court

The Attorney-General may ask the question concerning a witness for the defendants, whether he is a man of bad moral character. He is not confined to the question whether the witness be a man of veracity, or of veracity when (301) upon oath.

So the question was asked as to his moral character.

NOTE. — See S. v. Boswell, 13 N.C. 209.
