Trouard v. Beauregard

1 Mart. 80

• Court: Supreme Court of Louisiana
• Decided: July 1, 1809
• Status: Published

Opinion

By the Court,

Lewis, J. alone.

Were a witness in the situation of the present, to be rejected, many debts would be lost for want of testimony. From the necessity of the case, the witness must be admitted, and his credibility left to be judged by the jury. It does not appear that he acted for himself, but for the defendant^ with his knowledge and consent.

Witness sworn.
