Trustees v. Tappen

Trustees v. Tappen
New York Court of Chancery · Decided July 1, 1815
1 Johns. Ch. 368

Counsel

VAN VECHTEN, for the plaintiffs,, I. Hamilton, contra,

Trustees v. Tappen

Opinion of the Court

The Chancellor.

Here is no suggestion of any tampering with the witness, and Í am bound to presume there is a mistake or misapprehension on one side or the other. The cases of Griells v. Gansell, and of Darling v. Staniford, (2 P. Wms. 646. Dickens, 358.,) show, that re-examinations have been allowed in such cases ; and, in the latter case, the court took the re-examination from the examiner into their own hands. Let the witness be re-examined before one of the examiners of the court.

Rule accordingly.
