THE COMPETENCY OF WITNESSES
The question whether parties in interes

is about to be brought before the Legisla

the enlightened experience of the English
Courts to guide it, will doubtless remove
the present disqualification which makes
the parties who must necessarily have the
best knowledge Of the circumstances in

to the facts. In the ordinary transactions
Of life, we take every mans representa-

be interested, and give them their proper
weight according to the degree Of credi-

law, where the witness is put to a searching
investigation, and every word closely scru-
tinized, the credibility of the witness is
much more readily established, aud sue
