Supreme Court of Alabama January 15, 1845 (Wheat v. Croom)

ORMOND, J.

— In Watson v. Byers, 6 Ala. 393, we held, “ that if one asserted in the presence and hearing of another, in such a manner, as to entitle him to an answer, that he was indebted to him in a certain amount, his silence, would, in law, be an admission, that the claim asserted was just.
