Syllabus

<p>1. Evidence—account-book. An account-book, to be used as evidence, should be the book containing an entry of transactions in the store, factory or office, as they occurred in the regular order of business. Where it is an old book, laid aside as a book of accounts, and use only for one entry of a late transaction, it is not admissible in evidence as to the latter entry.</p> <p>2. It has never been held that a single entry makes an account-book, nor has it ever been held that a single entry of cash in a book is competent proof.</p>
