Lumpkin, J.,

¶2delivering the opinion.

¶3The only question in this case is, whether a party to the record, who has no interest at the trial, in the event of the *940suit, 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.
