Craig Sergeant v. Russel

Superior Court of Delaware

Craig Sergeant v. Russel

2 Del. 353

Superior Court of Delaware·Decided July 5, 1838·Published

Opinion

The Court

said the true course of practice was, as it would be extremely inconvenient, if the production of the boobs themselves was always insisted on, to admit these sworn copies by consent unless either party wished, for some special reason, to see the books; in which case, timely notice should be given to the counsel of the other party, that the production of the books would be required. The copy offered in evidence ought to be sworn to be a true copy of the book entries; and not merely a proved account.

The evidence was admitted, by consent.
