Opinion
The judgment must be reversed. It would lead to great abuse, if a justice were allowed to admit a witness to testify, de bene esse, and to say, that he afterwards disregarded the evidence.
GENERAL RULE.
Ordered, that whenever a motion shall be made to set aside a report of referees, on the merits, or for a new trial, upon newly discovered evidence, copies of the affidavits whereon the motion is made or opposed, shall be furnished to each of the judges, on the opening of the argument: And whenever a motion shall be made in arrest of judgment, copies of the pleadings, or of so much thereof as may be necessary, shall be delivered to each of the judges, on making the motion.
January 22, 1813.
END OF JANUARY TERM.
