Holloway and Others v. The State.
    ERROR to the Tippecanoe Court of Common Pleas.
    
      Monday, June 5.
    
    
      Z. Baird, for the plaintiffs.
    
      R. Jones, for the state.
   Per Curiam.

This case was before this Court on a former occasion, and was fully considered. The State v. Holloway, 8 Blackf. 45.

The only difference between the case now and then consists in this: that Termers is now shown to have been guilty of a neglect of duty as agent which might have rendered him liable over to the state, and, hence, disqualified, under the old law, as a witness in the case; but the facts (the second point of difference) before proved by him are now proved by another witness; thus placing the case meritoriously on the same ground it stood upon before.

The decree is affirmed, with 5 per cent, damages and costs.
