Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from M. v. C., 1946 CanLII 151 (SK QB):
In Mash v. Darley [1914] 3 K.B. 1226, 83 L.J.K.B. 1740, Buckley, L.J. says: “There can be no stronger corroborative evidence, I conceive, than that which is found either in admissions by the man or inferences properly drawn from the conduct of the man. Admission here there is none; conduct there is.”
