The cross-examination in this case was designed to discredit the defendant, who was a witness in his own behalf. How far justice required this inquiry should be carried, was a question of fact to be determined at the trial term, and the right of cross-examination was not affected by the fact that the witness was a party. There was no error of law in permitting the cross-examination to take the course it did, nor in the admission of the testimony which it evoked. Gutterson v. Morse,
