Syllabus

<p>1. Under section 400 of the Code a party is prohibited from testifying that an account with one now deceased was correct, as such testimony was, in substance and effect, a statement that the services had been rendered under a contract or upon request.</p> <p>2. The competent testimony being too vague to sustain the judgment of a trial justice, the Circuit Judge did not err in remanding the case for anew trial.</p>
