Lors de tout procès, un témoin peut être contre-interrogé au sujet des déclarations antérieures qu’il a faites [...] relativement au sujet de la cause, sans qu’il lui soit permis d’en prendre connaissance. Cependant, si l’on entend «mettre le témoin en contradiction» avec lui-même au moyen de cette pièce, l’on doit, avant de pouvoir établir cette preuve contradictoire, appeler son attention sur les parties de celle-ci qui doivent servir à le mettre ainsi en contradiction. 2, record 1, French, - contredire%20un%20t%C3%A9moin
