Syllabus

<p>Though the account-book of a tradesman, as a general rule, is not admissable to prove a charge for money loaned, yet where it was shown that plaintiff had procured and paid for certain articles for defendant, and charged it as money loaned, the book is admissable.</p> <p>Admitting that a trader’s book is not admissable to prove a single item, yet where the evidence shows that defendant bought goods at various times, for which only one charge was entered after the order was filled, it seems that the account-book is admissable in evidence.</p>
