The same observations
applicable to the case
of examination of
extraneous witnesses

What has been above observed in relation to
the case where at the instance of a Pursuer a Defendant
is, at the commencement of a suit, to
be examined, will to an extent more or less considerable,
be found applicable to the case where,
on that same side or on either side, a person is
to be examined in the character of an extraneous
witness. Considered merely in the character of a
witness, one part of that which would commonly
compose the subject matter of examination
in the case of a Defendant, has no place in the
case of an extraneous witness. This part is what
is composed of the subject matter of admissions.
The facts proposed to be admitted may, in any
number be facts of which the Defendant has
no personal cognizance: he not having been
in relation to them himself a percipient witness,
but being satisfied of their existence,
either from Report made to him by percipient
witnesses, or by inferences drawn from circumstantial
evidence. From an extraneous witness,
nothing, in the way of admission, as
above, will be relevant: the only facts, the
statement of which can with propriety be
received from him to the purpose of their
operating in the character of appropriate
evidence, will be those, in relation to which
he has been a percipient witness: as to any
other facts, if his testimony be in any way relevant,
if it be capable of throwing light on
the matter in dispute in any way, it will be in
the character of purely indicative evidence, giving
information of a source from whence appropriate
evidence may it is supposed be extracted.
