Opinion

A limited pardon does not restore the competency of the party as awitness. James Jones had been convicted of a felony, (kidnapping,) and the governor had, by a pardon, remitted "the fine, imprisonment, and corporal punishment." He was rejected when offered as a witness, the court holding that the pardon being a limited one and not *Page 529 general, the consequences of the judgment remain and he was, therefore, incompetent. State vs. Timmons. Sussex, Oct. Sessions, 1833.
