Presumptions - Constitutional Validity Of Statute Establishing Proof Of Reputation As Prima Facie Evidence Of Commission Of Crime
Michigan Law Review
The rise and sway of the gangster as a menace to American social and economic security has led, of late, to the employment of unique means of combating lawlessness. Faced by a tremendous increase in the difficulties lying in the path of those seeking the conviction of professional criminals for major crimes, the police and prosecutors often turn towards a means of fighting crime originally devised to make life uncomfortable for petty off enders. The enforcement of the pistol laws and the vagrancy statutes against millionaire gangsters, and repeated arrests on suspicion, have been resorted to as a means of …

Negligence - Res Ipsa Loquitur - Circumstantial Evidence
Michigan Law Review
Defendant company owned, and was in possession of, a wall, from the top of which a loose piece of concrete fell and injured the plaintiff who was at work on land adjoining.

Insurance - Estoppel - Parol Evidence Rule
Insurance - Estoppel - Parol Evidence Rule
Michigan Law Review
The plaintiff sued on a fire policy. The insurer defended on the ground that plaintiff had violated a condition of the policy which provided that there would be no liability if loss occurred while the property was encumbered by a chattel mortgage, unless the company's written consent thereto was endorsed on the policy. Plaintiff sought to estop the defendant as to this defense because of insurer's agent's assurances, given before and after the issuance of the policy, that the policy would permit him to encumber the goods. Held, defendant's demurrer to plaintiff's replication should be sustained because of plaintiff's …
Admissibility Of Previous Consistent Statements By A Witness, Herald A. O'Neill
Admissibility Of Previous Consistent Statements By A Witness, Herald A. O'Neill
Washington Law Review
Today the courts are almost unanimous in holding that proof of statements made by a witness out of court similar to and in harmony with his testimony are inadmissible. "This rule of evidence," said Mr. Justice Holloway, speaking for the Supreme Court of Montana in the case of Fairleigh v.Kelley (1903), "became settled long ago." It is unquestionably supported by the decided weight of authority, and in fact, it may now be said that the rule is more than general—it is well nigh universal. There are, however, well settled exceptions to this general rule. In fact, the exceptions "have become …

The plaintiff corporation, a retail distributor of gas, contracted for its supply over a three-year period from a service company, and filed its rate schedule with the public utilities commission. The commission ordered a lower rate, its order being based on files of schedules of other distributing companies, which were found to show that the plaintiff's contract was excessive and that a lower rate could have been contracted for.

Degrees Of Secondary Evidence, Story Birdseye
Degrees Of Secondary Evidence, Story Birdseye
Washington Law Review
One of.the most ancient of all legal doctrines is the "best evidence rule," although originally it had a much broader meaning than at present. According to the early view, it meant that only the best evidence which could be produced was admissible, it was applicable to all classes of evidence and not confined to documents. In its modern application, however, the best evidence rule amounts only to the requirement that the contents of a written instrument must be proved by the introduction of the writing itself, unless its absence is satisfactorily accounted for. The reason for this law of evidence …

Insurance-Misrepresentations-Insertion Of False Answers By Medical Examiner
Insurance-Misrepresentations-Insertion Of False Answers By Medical Examiner
Michigan Law Review
If an applicant for life insurance, in answering the many questions put to him by the company's medical representative, tells the truth, but the examiner, in recording the answers, distorts them without the knowledge of the insured, may the beneficiary or the personal representative of the insured show this distortion by parol, and collect on the policy in spite of the presence of false written answers in the application? The New York court of appeals, in the very recent case, Minsker v. John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Co., 254 N. Y. 333, 173 N.E. 4, answers this question in …
Evidence-Contributory Negligence-Burden Of Proof-Presumption Of Due Care
Evidence-Contributory Negligence-Burden Of Proof-Presumption Of Due Care
Michigan Law Review
This case was an administrator's action to recover damages for the death of the plaintiff's intestate who was struck by an automobile operated by the defendant. There were no eyewitnesses other than the decedent and the defendant. On trial the plaintiff introduced evidence of the defendant's negligence, but under the circumstances of the case, was unable to introduce affirmative evidence that the decedent was free from contributory negligence. Held, one judge dissenting, that there was no presumption that the decedent exercised due care, and therefore, the non-suit granted by the lower court was affirmed. Kotler v. Lalley (Conn. 1930) …
