Welch v. Hoover

The Court, however,

doubling,) permitted the witness to be examined without a release from either party ; and decided that he was competent to prove his own authority, if it was not in writing. See Starkie on Evidence, Part 4, p. 55.

But the Court (Morsell, J., absent,) overruled the objection. Verdict for plaintiff, $472.32.
