Wells’ Notebook, 362
Supreme Court of Delaware.
1807.
In the case of Bruinton, an insolvent debtor, applying to be released from imprisonment, one of the creditors offered as a witness to prove a concealment of property. Cooper objected on account of interest.
The Court said that in such cases the practice had been to receive this testimony; that the allegations of the creditors were to be received, and that the petitioner ought not to complain of the information being communicated under the sanction of an oath.
