Counsel

The counsel,

Opinion of the Court

Thompson, J.

This testimony can be offered for no other purpose than to impeach the credibility of the witness who has been sworn. And in this point of view it is certainly too remote, and is, therefore, inadmissible.(1)

D. B. Ogden, for the plaintiff.

Emmet, for the defendant.

Vide Germond v. Germond. 6 John. C. C. 347, 349; S. C., 1 Paige, 83; Wood v. Wood, 2 Paige, 113.
