Foster v. Sinkler

1 S.C.L. 40

Opinions

Pekdleton, J.

was clearly of opinion, that the original book of entries of a merchant or shop-keeper, is good evidence to go to a jury, upon the plaintiff’s swearing to the same ; and where one of the copartners, who made the entries, is out of the state, the other copartner may swear to his hand-writing in the books. He thought also, that these entries were, in this country, prima facie evidence of a delivery.
