VOIR .
An old French word ,
which signifies the same as the modern word vrai ,
true .
Voir dire ,
to speak truly ,
to tell the truth .
2 .
When a witness is supposed to have an interest in the cause ,
the party against whom he is called has the choice to prove such interest by calling another witness to that fact ,
or be may require the witness produced to be sworn on his voir dire as to whether he has an interest in the cause ,
or not ,
but the party against whom he is called will not be allowed to have recourse to both methods to prove the witness interest .
If the witness answers he has no interest ,
he is competent ,
his oath being conclusive ;
if he swears he has an interest ,
he will be rejected .
3 .
Though this is the rule established beyond the power of the courts to change ,
it seems not very satisfactory .
The witness is sworn on his voir dire to ascertain whether he has an interest ,
which would disqualify him ,
because he would be tempted to perjure himself ,
if he testified when interested .
But when he is asked whether he has such an interest ,
if he is dishonest and anxious to be sworn in the case ,
he will swear falsely he has none ,
and his answer being conclusive ,
he will be admitted as competent ;
if ,
on the contrary ,
he swears truly he has an interest ,
when he knows that will exclude him ,
he is told that for being thus honest ,
he must be rejected .
