Johnson v. Bourn
Court of Appeals of Virginia · Decided April 15, 1793
1 Va. 187

Johnson v. Bourn

Opinion of the Court

The PRESIDENT.

The plaintiff, by bringing separate actions, has removed all objection to the testimony of the witness, since the verdict in one suit, cannot be given in evidence in the other. The objection therefore can only go to the credibility, not to the competency of the witness.

Judgment reversed' — verdict set aside, and new trial awarded, with -directions to admit the examination of the witness.
