New York Supreme Court, 1881

Jones v. Kerr

Jones v. Kerr
New York Supreme Court · Decided October 15, 1881
32 N.Y. Sup. Ct. 315
Jones v. Kerr

Opinion of the Court

Judgment reversed and new trial ordered before another referee, costs to abide event. Held, that the objection to the questions put to the defendant as a witness in his own behalf as to the intent with which he wrote the instrument in question, was improperly sustained. (Thurston v. Cornell, 38 N. Y., 281, and cases cited, page 287; Kerrains v. The People, 60 id., 221.) The subsequent answer of the witness relied upon by the plaintiff as curing the error, was not a full response to such questions.
