Note : "
It would be well if character and reputation were used distinctively .
In truth ,
character is what a person is ;
reputation is what he is supposed to be .
Character is in himself ,
reputation is in the minds of others .
Character is injured by temptations ,
and by wrongdoing ;
reputation by slanders ,
and libels .
Character endures throughout defamation in every form ,
but perishes when there is a voluntary transgression ;
reputation may last through numerous transgressions ,
but be destroyed by a single ,
and even an unfounded ,
accusation or aspersion ." --

There are three classes of cases on which the moral character and conduct of a person in society may be used in proof before a jury ,
each resting upon particular and distinct grounds .
Such evidence is admissible ,
1st .
To afford a presumption that a particular party has not been guilty of a criminal act .
2d .
To affect the damages in particular cases ,
where their amount depends on the character and conduct of any individual ;
and ,
3d .
To impeach or confirm the veracity of a witness .
3 .-
1 .
Where the guilt of an accused party is doubtful ,
and the character of the supposed agent is involved in the question ,
a presumption of innocence arises from his former conduct in society ,
as evidenced by his general character ,
since it is not probable that a person of known probity and humanity ,
would commit a dishonest or outrageous act in the particular instance .
Such presumptions ,
however ,
are so remote from fact ,
and it is frequently so difficult to estimate a person '
s real character ,
that they are entitled to little weight ,
except in doubtful cases .
Since the law considers a presumption of this nature to be admissible ,
it is in principle admissible '
Whenever a reasonable presumption arises from it ,
as to the fact in question ;
in practice it is admitted whenever the character of the party is involved in the issue .

In some instances evidence in disparagement of character is admissible ,
not in order to prove or disprove the commission of a particular fact ,
but with a view to damages .
In actions for criminal conversation with the plaintiff '
s wife ,
evidence may be given of the wife '
s general bad character ,
for want of chastity ,
and even of particular acts of adultery committed by her ,
previous to her intercourse with the defendant .

The ground of admitting such evidence is ,
that a person of disparaged fame is not entitled to the same measure of damages with one whose character is unblemished .
When ,
however ,
the defendant justifies the slander ,
it seems to be doubtful whether the evidence of reports as to the conduct and character of the plaintiff can be received .

For example ,
evidence of the general character of a prosecutrix for a rape ,
may be given ,
as that she was a street walker ;
but evidence of specific acts of criminality cannot be admitted .

The regular mode is to inquire whether the witness under examination has the means of knowing the former witness general character ,
and whether from such knowledge he would believe ,
him on his oath .

In answer to such evidence against character ,
the other party may cross -
examine the witness as to his means of knowledge ,
and the grounds of his opinion ;
or he may attack such witness general character ,
and by fresh evidence support the character of his own .
