Supreme Court of Connecticut July 15, 1844 (Crouch v. Carrier)

Church, J.

In considering this motion, we shall confine ourselves to that part of the plaintiff’s case, which was proved by his own witness, Henry Holdridge, and not disputed by the defendants; and thus avoid any inquiry into the weight of conflicting evidence.

It is to be presumed, that this witness stated the facts as favourably for the plaintiff as truth would justify.
