IEA Section 88 — Presumption as to telegraphic messages
Chapter 5
Civil
Summary
A court can assume that a telegram received by someone is the same as the one that was originally handed over for sending at the telegraph office. However, the court cannot assume anything about who actually handed over that message for transmission.
Official Text
The Court may presume that a message, forwarded from a telegraph office to the person to whom such message purports to be addressed, corresponds with a message delivered for transmission at the office from which the message purports to be sent; but the Court shall not make any presumption as to the person by whom such message was delivered for transmission.
