BASSETT V. REYNOLDS.

This case involved the ownership of sixteen shares in
a certain mine in Cornwall. The mine was divided into
shares, and it was alleged on the one hand that Mr. J.
Basset deceased had purchased these shares, and an
entry to this effect was found in the books of
the mine. The entry was, however, erased (not in
such a manner as to obliterate what had been written,
nor did it appear that intention of the kind
had existed), and it was contended on the part
of Mr. Reynolds that the entry was not of any validity
as a proof of the shares being Mr. Bassett's, or that
