• 61 Ill. 378

Syllabus

<p>1. Evidence—as between eo-defendants. In a suit in the names of two for the use of one of them, iu which the one not having interest testified against his co-plaintiff, it is competent to contradict or impeach him by-other witnesses.</p> <p>2. Same—when contradictory. When evidence is contradictory, involving the credibility of witnesses, the question is oue peculiary for the jury, and their verdict should not be disturbed.</p> <p>3. Same—legal presumption. Whether a witness swears mistakenly, or knowingly falsely, is a question of fact for the jury, and not one of law.</p>
