Supreme Court of North Carolina December 5, 1856 (Blum v. . Stafford)

Pearson, J.

One who has a

dvrect, certain, legal

interest in the event of a suit, is not a competent witness on the side of his interest. By legal, is not meant only such interest as can be asserted in a common law Court, but it embraces any interest that can be asserted in any Court of justice.
