The Chief Justice.
Too much time should not be consumed by counsel in arguing points so clear and so repeatedly decided. It has been ruled by this Court, that even where a person was made drunken, and enticed to sign a promissory note, he was after-*250wards permitted to give, evidence of the fact, and thus avoided it. The English authorities go no further than to estop a person from stultifying himself. The rule is never extended to the heirs, executors or administrators.

.Daniel Buck, for the defendant.
Smith, Judge,
