New York Court of Appeals

William Gardam & Son, Respondent v. James G. Batterson, Appellant

March 22, 1910198 N.Y. 175

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court's judgment, holding that the copies of the alleged letters were properly excluded because the evidence did not establish a regular course of business showing they had been mailed. The Court required proof of such a practice to permit a presumption of mailing under the best evidence rule.
