Synopsis
Excerpt from The American Law Register, Vol. 12: From January to December, 1873
Jones has since been overruled by the Supreme Court of Penn sylvania, in Craig v. Graig, 5 Rae 91.
In 10 Peters 412, story, J delivering the opinion of the court, said: It is true that in Latterell v. Reynell, 1 Mod. Rep. 282, it was held, that though hearsay be not allowed, as direct evi dence, yet, it may be admitted, in corroboration of a witness's testimony, to show that he affirmed the same things upon other occasions and that he is still constant to himself. Lord Chief Baron gilbert has asserted the same opinion in his treatise on Evidence, p. 135. But Mr. Justice buller, in his Nisi Prius treatise, p. 294, says: But clearly it is not evidence in chief and it seems doubtful, whether it is so in reply or not. The same question came before the House of Lords in the Berkeley Peerage Case, 4 Camp. 401, and it was there said by Lord redesdale, that he had always understood, that, for the purpose of impugn ing the testimony of a witness, his declarations at another time might be inquired into but not for the purpose of confirming his evidence. Lord eldon expressed his decided opinion, that this was the true rule to be observed by the counsel in the cause.
