Book excerpt: Excerpt from Trial Evidence: The Rules of Evidence Applicable on the Trial of Civil Actions (Including Both Causes of Action and Defenses) At Common Law, in Equity, and Under the Codes of Procedure The method chosen for the statement of these rules is that which seemed to promise the best practical assistance to counsel and to the court, in the trial of issues; to the practitioner generally in preparing for trial and selecting witnesses; and also to the pleader in framing issues. The order of topics pursued first disposes of questions connected with the character of Particular Classes of Parties, as likely to arise in actions of almost any kind, and then proceeds with Particular Causes of Action, taking first those in which the main proof is usually of facts raising an implied contract or legal duty; followed by those involving writings unsealed, sealed, or of record; then those turning on negli gence or tort; then those seeking specific relief, founded on either of these kinds of transactions; and finally those which, in a greater degree, depend on statutes, &c. Defenses which are common to several classes of actions are not treated in connection with each cause of action, but in the third and last part of the volume.
