Superior Court of Delaware, 1838

Craig Sergeant v. Russel

Craig Sergeant v. Russel
Superior Court of Delaware · Decided July 5, 1838
2 Del. 353

Counsel

Wootten, for plaintiff. Brinckloe and Ridgely, for defendant.

Craig Sergeant v. Russel

Opinion of the Court

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.
