Madox v. Hoskins.
    The Defendant had purchased a negro of Ward, who pretended a title under the Plaintiff, and called a man who also had purchased one other negro of Ward, who claimed it in the same manner — objected, he is interested in the question. To this it was answered, that the case of Farrel & Perry, in Halifax, October, 1790, had settled this point, and had determined that the objection must bo as to his interest in the event of the cause. But per Williams & Macay, Judges, where a man is plainly interested in the event of a question, he hath been ex'cluded by all authorities. And per Williams, Í remember something of that case at Halifax, but the circumstances must have been different from this.
   Note. — Overruled, vide the references in the note to Farrel v. Perry, ante 2.
