Head Matter:
Wilson v. McClean & Winterberry.
When a witness states the grounds of his belief of a material fact, his belief, together with the reasons of his belief, are proper evidence to be left to the jury.
Mr. Youngs, for the defendant,
moved the Court to strike out the words above, (in italics) which the Court refused, because the witness has stated the grounds of his belief. Duckett, J., absent.

Opinion:
In a deposition the deponent said, he " believed the goods ivere for the house of McClean & Winterberry, as they were shipped to McClean & Winterberry at Alexandria."
