Craig's Administratrix v. Reintzel
U.S. Circuit Court for the District of District of Columbia · Decided December 15, 1816
2 D.C. 128; 6 F. Cas. 730; 2 Cranch 128
Craig's Administratrix v. Reintzel

Opinion of the Court

The Court

(nem. con.) overruled the objection. If the plaintiff should be liable to costs de bonis propriis, the surety is not liable at all; if de bonis decedenlis, the surety will not be liable until a devastavit shall have been established; and that liability is too contingent and too remote to affect the competency of the witness. Davies v. Davies's Executrix, ante, 105.
