Brooke v. Peyton, 1 D.C. 128 (D.D.C. 1803).

Opinion

New trial refused. The only doubt was whether the discovery of evidence tending to discredit a witness who testified to circumstances only tending to prove the making and publishing the libel, was sufficient ground for a new trial; the witness not being the only witness to that point.

Marshall, J., absent.
