Thero were two ponrs of his tine for which no ono conld acconnt but the prisoner’s wife. On that vucasion Mr, O'Brlen read from Sce. 8, Division 13, of the Criminal Code, Revised Statutes of 1874, which provides that *no person shall be disqualified as & witness In any crininal case or procecding by reason of his Interest in the event of the same, asa party or otherwise, or by reason of his having beun convicted of any cerime, hut such interest or_ convletion may bo ahown for the purpose of affecting his credihilf- ty. llo also claimed that within his own Knowledgo three Cirenlt Judges hiad held that under this statato the wifa was a competent witness, ‘Tho Court thought at the time that the conitruction was wrong, but af- terwards allowed the woman to testify as to the two hours In question. 1o thinking the matter over Intor, the Court concluded that the disqual- {tieation of intcrust only was remouved. Tac rule of common law was based not only on the ques- tlon of Interest, but more largely on motives of public poliey, ond for the eake of maintaining that sacred confidence which ought to exist_be- tween man and wife, The Court, thercfore, held that the section referred to, and which was the only one relied upon, did not remove the disqualification, and that Mrs. Davison wns not & compctent witness, He had not the slightest doubt in his own mind about the rule, and belfoved that if ever the matter got to tho Su- reme Court that body would so hold, Ho carned later in regard to the case to which he had referred that thero was great doubt as to Wwhether quite so many Circuit Judges had de- cided na allejred, MIl.
