Thompson v. Church

1 Root 312
Supreme Court of Connecticut·Decided August 15, 1791·Published·Cited by 5 cases

Opinion

The plaintiff offered evidence to prove that said Church’s general character was that of a malicious quarrelsome man; which was objected to, and by the court not admitted. The general character is not in issue; the business of the court is to try the case and not the man; and a very bad man may have a very righteous cause.
