No. 6023.
    W. D. Peterson et al. vs. J. J. Brown.
    The weakness of the defendant’s evidence does not supply the place of proof on the part of the plaintiff. In a suit upon a verbal contract, where the only witnesses are the plaintiff and the defendant, whose testimony is in positive contradiction, and there are no corroborating circumstances of either, judgment must go against the plaintiff either absolute or as of non-suit.
