Syllabus

<p>Master and servant — Payment of wages — Presumption of payment — Rebuttal—Inability to malee demand.</p> <p>The presumption that a domestic servant has been paid, where no demand has been made for wages for a considerable period after the- service has terminated, may be rebutted by evidence that there had been a demand for payment, that no payment had been made, and that a promise had been given for future payment.</p> <p>Where it is the duty of a claimant to make a demand or institute suit, and the debtor moves to a place unknown, the inference as to staleness of claim will not arise from lack of demand and the failure to institute proceedings.</p>
