A receiver in possession of corporate books, and to a considerable degree familiar with their contents, may testify that he had examined them and was unable to find that any dividend had been paid.</p> <p>Fraud (18) — Evidence—Admissibility. In an action for fraud in inducing the purchase of stock of a corporation which went into the hands of a receiver, in which the question of its general financial condition was an important issue, evidence as to a claim allowed by the receiver is admissible upon that issue.</p>
