Delaware County Court of Quarter Sessions November 21, 1797 (State v. George)

Chief Justice Bassett.

Gentlemen, in this case which has been fully argued and the evidence fully before you, the point on which this cause must turn is whether the identity of the person is proved. There have been twenty witnesses examined in this cause, in some measure contradictory; you are to consider and weigh the evidence according to the credit you think it ought to have.
