New York Supreme Court October 15, 1886 (Beaman v. Todd)

Davis, P. J.

On the former hearing a new trial was granted on the ground that the referee erred in requiring the appellant to call as a witness on his own behalf, one Woodworth, who, as appellant claimed, had become hostile to him and whom he did not wish to accredit by placing him upon the stand.
