As to the courts . of I equi(y, ' whatever analogies might be drawn, he did riot confider that judges of the common law were bound to go into the court of chancery to find out what ru!s of evidence were received there. In the whole of his pradice at the bar, . and of his experience on the bench, he confider ed that witnelTes might objecl to being ex amined on matters that would expofe them to civil actions. He thought that no third perfon had a right to extort from a witnefs what debts he owed, which would expofe him to a 3 ions. If that were the rule, it would change the whole pbclice of the law, - as difttoneft praAiiioneri . would bring a&iont again (I one perfon, merely to' ex tort evidence againft another. He, therefore, was of opinion, that a wit. liefi was not bound to anfwer queftions which would prejudice his pecuniary Inter, efts, and expofe him to civil actions.
