Opinion of the Court

By the Couet.

The question reported is whether a proper basis had been laid for the admission of secondary evidence as to the contents of books of account. The preliminary finding of the judge to the effect that there was such basis was amply justified by testimony which need not be narrated. Smith v. Brown, 151 Mass. 338. Whitney v. Lynch, 222 Mass. 112, 116. The case is distinguishable from Post v. Leland, 184 Mass. 601.
