Head Matter:
ROBERT vs. BOYNTON.
A party on tbe record who, at the trial, has no interest in the event of the suit, may be examined as a witness.
Complaint, in Dougherty Superior Court. Tried before Judge Allen, at June Term, 1859.
The decision of the Court contains a statement of the fact and question in this case.

Opinion:
By the Court.
Lumpkin, J.,
delivering the opinion.
The only question in this case is, whether a party to the record, who has no interest at the trial, in the event of the suit, can be examined ? It was solemnly decided that he could be in the case of the Central Railroad and Banking Company against Hines, Perkins & Co. 19 Ga. Rep., 203. And the same point has since been reaffirmed after the most thorough examination. The point, therefore, is no longer an open question in this Court.
