Syllabus

<p>WRONGFUL ATTACHMENT — EVIDENCE — COMPETENCY — OBJECTIONS.</p> <p>In an action by a wife for damages for the wrongful attachment of property which her husband had transferred to her in payment of a loan by her to him, and where, for the purpose of proving the bona fides of the transaction, she was attempting to show that she had received a certain sum from her father’s estate which constituted the loan to her husband, it was not error to admit in evidence a copy of her receipt for the amount to the representative of her father’s estate, when the only objection made thereto was that it was secondary evidence, although the original receipt itself would have been inadmissible, if objected to on the ground of incompetency.</p>
