Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Houlding v. Canadian Credit Men's Trust Association Limited, 1921 CanLII 104 (SK QB):
And at p. 525: Where [see Goss v. Quintan, 4 Scott (N.R.) 471, 3 Man. & G. 825, 12 L.J.C.P. 173) plaintiffs who were assignees of a bankrupt, gave in evidence an examination of the defendant before the commissioners, as proof that he had taken certain property, it was held that they thereby made his cross-examination evidence in the cause; and as, in this cross-examination, he had stated that he had purchased the property under a written agreement, a copy of which was entered as part of his answer, this statement was considered as some evidence on his behalf of the agreement and its contents.
