Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Rex v. Peterson, 1916 CanLII 213 (SK CA):
In M’Gahey v. Alston, 2 M. & W., p. 206:— “A check, drawn on account of the parish, was delivered to A., who was then the paying clerk of the parish. It was shewn that the bankers of the parish, on the same day, paid a sum of that amount, and that their custom was to return the cancelled checks to the paying clerk, and that they were deposited in an apartment in the workhouse. A., having gone out of office, application was made to his successor at that place, for inspection of the checks. He handed to the witness several bundles, which he searched, without finding the cheque in question:—Held, a sufficient search to let in secondary evidence of the contents.”
