SOCIÉTÉ ANONYME DES SUCRERIES DE SAINT JEAN v. MIGUEL CHIQUES BERLINGERY.
    San Juan,
    Equity,
    No. 1019.
    On Motion to Stbike Testimony.
    [Practice — Party as Witness.
    The statements made by a party as a witness do not amount to . an admission as a party to the case.
    Opinion filed April 2, 1919.
    
      
      Mr. H. O. Molina for plaintiff.
    
      Mr. E. H. F. Dottin for defendant.
   HaMIltóN, Judge,

delivered the following opinion:

The motion to strike is granted. . When the plaintiff gets on the stand he is not the plaintiff. He is simply a witness. What he says on the stand is not an admission. It is a very interesting distinction but I think a correct one. Admission by a party is before he gets into court, and not afterwards.
