Opinion

Bassett, C. J.,

said a majority of the Court were for admitting her ex necessitate rel — that she was a good witness by the common law, and not excluded by the Act of Assembly from obtaining redress in that way, but, if the assault had been on a white man, he would not have admitted her.

Another witness proved it was the Negro’s own assault.

Verdict not guilty, and the court refused to certify.
