Griffin v. Borst

Opinion of the Court

By the Court,

Savage, Ch. J.

Had the fact been established that the commissioner before whom two of the commissioners were sworn was the attorney of the widow, the objection would not have been sustained. It has been held that an affidavit taken before the attorney in a cause cannot be read on a motion made in court; but we feel no disposi* tion to extend the rule. In this case, however, the fact is denied. The motion is denied.
