Barnes v. . Dickinson

Opinion of the Court

Hax.Ii, Judge.

It does not appear that Cooke had such an interest in the cause as to render him incompetent.

As to what Rebecca Hicks tol$ the Plaintiff, relative to her deposition, he had ample time to avail himself of it (if that could be done) on the trial ¿ he might also then have objected to her deposition, because it was in the handwriting of Cooke, if that objection would have availed him. I think the Judge did right in not granting a new trial for these reasons.

Per Curiam. — Judgment affirmed.
