One Can Testify to Hts Own Age.

From the Boston Advertiser, July 10.
The Supreme Court of Massachu.
sets has recently decided that per-
son is competent witness to testify
to his own age. The case was Hen
ry Hill and others against William 7.
Eldridge, brought in the Superior
Court for Norfolk county. Action
was brought to recover for goods
sold to the defendant, whose defense
was infancy aud that the goods sold
were not necessaries. At the trial
in the Superior Court, without a jury,
the defendant was q witness and, un-
der the PLAINTIFF objection, was per-
mitted to testify that when the goods
were purchased he was l6 years of
age, and that he was at the time of
the trial % years OF age. 1t ap-
peared that the defendants father
was dead. but it did not appear
whether the mother was living or
not, and no other evidence was of.
fered. The Superior Court found
for the defendant, and exceptions
were taken by the plaintiffs. The
Supreme Court has now overruled
the exceptions, holding that the evi.
dence was admissible. 1t is decided
that person may testify to his own
age, and such weight may be given
TO his testimony as the court or jury
trying the case may think it entitled
to receive.
