Moots v. State
Ohio Supreme Court
Moots v. State, 21 Ohio St. (N.S.) 653 (Ohio 1871)
Been, Counsel, West
Moots v. State
Opinion of the Court
We are of opinion that the freight book was properly admitted in evidence. The witness made the entries in the book, including the entry of May 10th. He made the entries truly, and in the regular order of business, on the day they purport to have been made. This, in effect, is that the witness, on May 10th, truly entered the fact that two horses were then shipped from London to Cincinnati, The entry in the book and the oath of the witness supplement each other. The book was really a part of the oath,
Motion overruled.
