EVIDENCE.

1. No one can be allowed to discredit his own testimony. Hepburn's

a presumption of satisfaction, arising from lapse of time, may, with-
out putting it as a defence upon the record, be taken advantage of
at the hearing. 1 b.

4. Lapse of time is a defence available against the State; and may well be
