Lumpkin, J.

delivering the opinion.

We are constrained, reluctantly, to grant a new trial in this case.

The acknowledgment of indebtedness by the defendant to the plaintiff is proven by two witnesses; and to rebut this, there is no other evidence offered but that of Watson; and giving that its full force, it extends to the payment for Jerry only, leaving untouched the four hundred and fifty dollars cash advanced in 1844 by the father to the son to buy land for him.
