Smith v. Sherwood

1. Where a wife turned a diamond ring over to her husband to sell for her, and he had his colored porter in his jewelry shop, who was not employed by the wife, to clean and polish the ring for the purpose of a sale, the porter was not such an agent for the wife as to render him incompetent to testify concerning transactions and communications between the husband and the alleged deceased purchaser of the ring, in a suit brought by the wife against the executor of the alleged purchaser for the purchase-price of the ring. McCroskey v. Hamilton, 108 Ga. 640, 643 (34 S. E. 111, 75 Am. St. R. 79).
