1 Wright 114

Wallace v. Bevard

Ohio Supreme Court

Decided September 15, 1832

Ohio Supreme Court · decided 1832-09-15

In Chancery. Bill for a specific performance of a contract. Plea — that at the execution of the contract the respondent was non compos.

Decided 1832-09-15

BY THE COURT.

¶1This case involves a question of fact of great delicacy and difficulty. The testimony is voluminous and contradictory. We feel indisposed to try such a question, and the more so, as in such inquiries, depending on matters of opinion, it is important to see the witnesses, in order to form a judgment of their competency and skill, to form an accurate opinion upon the question of sanity. An issue must be made up, and sent to a jury.
