By the Court:

In this case a deed was made of the house in question to Mrs. Gregory in fee simple; and evidence is offered to prove, that the purchase was made with the money of her deceased husband, part of which belonged to his children, and that the purchase was for their and her use. If the acknowledged this fact at any time, it amounts to a confession against herself, which may certainly be given in evidence.

Let the witness be sworn.
