Opinion
THE COURT (THRUSTON, Circuit Judge, absent) said that the rule which this court has adopted, is that laid down by Starkie, and the question must be confined to the general reputation of the witness as to veracity; and whether, from his knowledge of that general reputation, he would believe her upon oath.
