HULSHART v. HART, ADMINISTRATOR OF HUDDY.
    A bare allegation of interest shall not deprive a man of the benefit of his witnesses. It must be proved on the voir dire.
    
    
      Certiorari to Justice Hendrickson.
    The defendant offered five witnesses, who, being objected to as interested, refused to answer on oath as to their interest, and were not sworn on their voir dire, or proved to be interested ; but the justice rejected them.
   Per Curiam.

The defendant ought not to lose the benefit of his witnesses on bare allegation of interest; it must be proved by witnesses, or on their voir dire.

Reverse the judgment.
