Head Matter:
[55] CUMMINGS v. BONHAM.
Such parts of a mere paper account as are proved ought alone to go to the jury.
Certiorari to Justice Reading.
The action below was for £12 rent, which Bonham admitted was due to Cummings; but against this he exhibited a paper account of £15 5s., two articles only of which were proved, amounting to £3 5s., yet the justice permitted the whole account to go to the jury.

Opinion:
Per Cur.
Reverse the judgment. The items of a mere paper demand must be proved by evidence, or a regular book account.
