Tho Proceedings TentertfftT Afternoon, . Prior to the adjournment of the morning ses sion of yesterday, Judges Brewster and Ladlosr delivered differing opinions upon a point raised on Saturday. Hn wpr. J.; Tbe defemtsnt lina nffcrfd to show h a witiiPKstlieriVclnrntlnn of the ilwonofd, in'l, as It is KlU'Ki'd. to tlie witness, to the etToct that thdcesed had bought the hmiie nnd furniture for, nnd had fflTen tht m, with the exception of the piano, to her daughter. This has been olideuted to. nnd nrguod bye oiiuhuI. We were not favored with the citntion of any authority upon either side, and our examination. has not enabled ns to And any case directly bearluK upon the point thus submitted for our decision We are remitted, there fore, to the general priuciplos of the law which mar be supposed to if overu us iu our consideration of such a question. It Is not to be denied that the proposed evidence Is obnoxious to the rule which excludes nearsay declara tions. Hutu statements, not made under the obligation ot an oath, and repeated by a witness who mny extort mom, are iraugui witu great uaoger. e applied tins rule riuidlv. too. in faror of the defendant wiien we ex cluded, upon bis objection, declarations of the deceaited m iu iiur irnr ui uiiu, uuu an 10 iter imeimon 10 Hliuulil her complaint against him to counsel, with a view to the recovery of the real estate. Nor does this offer commend iuelf as falling within any one of the excep tions nnner wnicn Hearsay eviuonce is sometimes ad mitted, for this is neither. First. A case where the question as to whether a cer tain declaration was or was not made, is In controver sy; nor Second. Poes It refer to bodily or mental foeling, which are the subject of inquiry; nor J i mi noes it toucn a question oi prejudice; nor Fourth. Is tlie proposed declaration a Dart of anvex $ttm. (1 Qreenlenf on Kvld., S123.) Hut the commonwealth has been allowed to show facts from which It might be hereafter argued, First. That the defendant had practised a fraud upon the rieceaned by securing the name of his wife to be in serted in the title paper for the house. Second. That the defendant had a motive for the com mission of the offence, not only to avoid exposure of tliis fraud , but to obtain possesion of the other property belonging to the deceased, lucti cauia. jnow, suppose tne trntn to lie tiiat tne motner naa in tended to nave the deed made as it was made, or in other words let ns Imagine that the order given by the de fendant to theconveyancer was delivered at the request of the deceased. How could he prove his innocence lu this behalf except by the declaration of the deceased? J ake anotner illustration. A watcli formerly belonging to a deceased person is found in the pocket of a person arrested for murder. Could not the defendant prove that the deceased had declared that he had given the watch to the defendant? 1 think such evidence would lie admlsattile, ror It would fall under the exception of declarations made by a person since deceased, and asainst the interest of the person makiug them at the time when they were made. (Ureenleal on Evidence, sec. 147 ) It is true that the ordinary and highest tests of fidelity, accuracy and completeness ot judicial evidence, are nere wauling, but there place is In some measure supplied by the cir cumstances of the declarant; and the inconveniences resulting from the exclusion of evidence having such Kuarantees lor its accuracy in I act, anil ironnts iruedom lrom fraud, are deemed much greater in general than! any wnicn wouiu. prouauiy , ne cxpenenceu troui in au- uiission. While, tbereiore, l teei tne dltncnlty or deciding tills Suestion , and the danger of admitting tlie proposed evi ence, I havo concluded to overrule the objection, and in farorem vitB to give the defendant the benefit of every possible doubt. Judge juuaiow i cannot see my way clear loaamu the declarations.of the deceased lady as proof of the title to property, either real or personal. It is true that, in solar as any evidence concerning the title to the real estate has been produced by the commonwealth, testimony maybe admitted on behalf of the defendant rebutting tbe case of the commonwealth; that is, evi dence of acts of the deceased, aud declarations made in the presence of the prisoner, at times specit'ed in the testimony presented by the Court; but beyond this I do not think we ought to go. As to the evidence of decla rations of tlie deceased of title to personal property, I think they oughtto he rejected. i list. Because sncn declarations fall within the gen eral rules against hearsay testimony . Heoond. llelateto the declarations of a third party. Third. Because in any view they are immaterial to the issue now before the Court. 1 am therefore in favor of sustaining the objection to the testimony. Judge Brewster We are both agreed that this divi sion has the effect of admitting the testimony. llere the Court took a recess of an hour. At 3 o'clock the Court reconvened aud the trial was resumed. The defeuce proved a number of additional hills for furniture purchased iu the name of Mrs. Twitchtll.
