The common Law Of England has been
recognized a. binding in this country
ever since We bscamean independent ma
ton. One Of the fundamental prinei-
pies Of that Law il, that . wife cannot
testify either for OF against her husband
in a criminal suit. That rule has been
enforced in the courts Of every State In
the Union until now. The last New
York Legislature, however. passed a Law
permitting the wife to testify for her
husband in a criminal suit against him.
but disqualiiyine her as q witness for the
prosecution; and last week Governor
Tildsn signed the statute. so that 1t will
now Be enforced in all the criminal
courts. This 10 an innovation which
has long been required. and Nevada and
every other State should follow suit.
Every man and every woman who takes
the oath required Of a witness is sup
posed TO tsll the truth. No doubt .
wife is under moro temptation to per-
jurs herself and savs her husband than
mott witnesses would DO; but We have
no right to that she would do 30.
In many cases, her testimony would DO
all important to the defence. and the
trial might turn upon IL. On the other
hand, IL il perfectly right that abe
should not be compelled to give evidence
against the man whom abe has sworn to
love. honor and obey. The New York
Statute is . good one, and II is to Be
hoped tina, its spirit will DO infused into
our own laws when the mott Legislature
assemblies.
