From Moore. This was ati appeal from the County, to the Superior Court of Moore, in an action of debt; and on the trial in the Superior Court, the Plaintiff moved to be permitted to give a new appeal bond and other securities, in order to enable him to call on one of the securities to the original appeal bond as a witness : the Court refused to grant the motion.
¶1
I believe, in a great many instance;;, securities have been released, and others substituted in their places, in order that they might thereby become competent to give evidence in the cause, I can see no inconvenience in the case, at all, comparable to that Y.litch might be experienced from a contrary rule or practice. Much injury might accrue to a person vv ho bad, unguardedly or unfortunately, procured one to become his security, whom he might afterwards discover to he, an Important witness for him.
