Analysis
No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.
Opinion — Terry
Terry, C. J. delivered the opinion of the Court Field, J. concurring.
The only error assigned in this cause is the exclusion of a Chinese witness offered by plaintiff.
Section 394, of the Civil Practice Act, provides “ that no Indian or Negro shall be allowed to testify as a witness in any action in which white person is a party;” and.in the People v. Hall, (4 Cal. 339,) it was held that the term “ Indian,” as used in the statute, included the Chinese or Mongolian race; and upon the authority of that decision, the judgment is affirmed.
