Upon the trial, before his Honor, French, Y, at Fall Term, 1864, of the Superior Court of\u2019Orange, as is stated in the case sent up, \u201c the counsel for the defendant submitted various objections to the judgment, and to the scire facias as varying therefrom. These having been overruled, they offered the relator as a witness, to show that the judgment had been satisfied as to him. This, was done as a foundation for offering a paper 'in the handwriting of the person alleged to be substantially the relator, going to show that the judgment, in great measure, had been satisfied as to him. The witness Avas held to be incompetent.\u201d\nYerdict for the plaintiff; rule for a new trial; rule discharged, and appeal to the Supreme Court.\nGraham, for the plaintiff.\nNo counsel for the defendant."
