Existing system
exclusion of litigant
witnesses
Against evidence of litigant witnesses, the existing system
shuts a premptry door. Nemo debet esse testes in propria"cause says the oracle. Thus against what witness it is in so far as fable is
? against him who is most likely to know most about
the matter, and whose narrative if
least likely to be deceptive: for by a non litigant witness may be
possessed an interest in the suit an interest more valuable than
that of th either litigant and at the same time unknown and
undiscoverable: no eye so blind as not to be open to the law
under which is delivered whatsoever is delivered by a party in
the suit.
