Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court September 15, 1846 (Utley v. Merrick)

Wilde, J.

In this case, two questions are raised by the exceptions. The first is, whether the witness, offered by the plaintiff, was rightly admitted to testify. The objection was, that he had been adjudged guilty and was sentenced, in the court of common pleas, for obtaining goods by false pretences. This objection was overruled, and the witness was admitted to testify.
