Opinion
It is our opinion that the evidence offered is not competent. The general rule certainly is that evidence given or statements made by a party under compulsion or order of court tending to criminate himself cannot be put in evidence on a criminal proceeding against him. Reg. v. Garbett, 1 Denison, Crown Cas. 236. This ease falls within this principle. Evidence excluded.
