Syllabus

<p>Books of account kept by a party are not competent evidence, in an action for goods sold and delivered, to prove a copartnership between defendant L. and the other defendants, to whom certain lumber had been sold—L. not having dealt directly with plaintiffs.</p> <p>Such books are competent evidence to prove delivery of goods to the party dealing directly, when the nature of the subject does not admit of better evidence.</p>
