Excerpt from Cases Decided in the Supreme Court of the Cape of Good Hope, Vol. 1 In this case the Court (the Chief Justice dubitante) gave provisional sentence as prayed for the balance of an account current, which account was stated in the summons to be signed by the defendant, and in which he was called upon to confess or deny his signature. The account was produced bearing the defendant's signature, and in it the balance sued for was brought down as due by the defendant. The summons also averred that the account was in the handwriting of the defendant, but the judgment of the majority of the Court was not to any extent founded on this averment, but solely on the signature of the defendant to the account.
