The witness should be made to swear of his own knowledge; but while he does so, he may be permitted to refer to any thing, or fact, he may choose, in order to refresh his memory in regard to any matter about which he may be palled upon to testify. The evidence in this case is somewhat contradictory and conflicting. But we are of the opinion that the jury are the proper judges of the facts, and especially in cases of conflicting testimony. We have been able to discover no error requiring a reversal of the judgment, and it is affirmed.
