2 Cal. Unrep. 744

Fitzgerald v. Livermore

California Supreme Court

Decided February 25, 1887

California Supreme Court · decided 1887-02-25

<p>APPEAL from Superior Court, Alameda County.</p>

Decided 1887-02-25

By the COURT.

¶1This is an action for the recovery of personal property. The wife of the plaintiff was called as a witness for the defendant, and gave testimony against the plaintiff without his consent. Her testimony was material—• in fact, covered nearly all the matters included in the findings of the court. The ruling admitting the testimony over plaintiff’s objection was duly excepted to. We think the evidence in regard to the proceedings in insolvency was incompetent, and the objection on that ground should have been sustained. It is plain that the findings would not support a judgment for plaintiff.

¶2Judgment and order reversed and a new trial ordered.
