Green, aged about 13, indicted fo; larceny, was ordered to be discharged trom with the witness Alcove, and stated that his object was to impeach Alcove. udge Advocate Chipman objected, and said that the proper ground had not been laia for the impeachment of the witness. The alleged language was made use of by Alcove after he bad left the witness stand, and he was not then under the solemnity Of an oath. Mr. Baker stated that he hada right to show by this winess what he proposed. He was not contradicting Alcoye as to any part of his testimony. butas to what weight should be given toit. He proposed to give to the court a denial of the testimony as given by witness, who stated that his testimony was untrue. Mr. Baker submitted his question in form, and the room was cleared for deliberation. On e¢e-opening, the President stated that the objection of the Judge Advocate was sustained, but they would give him a sub na for the witness Alcoye, to bring him back. The Court could not violate the law, and at the same time they were not desirous of protecting Alcove in any wrong he had committed. Mr. Baker said that he could not consent to the arrangement.
