New York Court of Appeals September 28, 1871 (Champion v. Joslyn)

lead-opinion

Hunt, C.

The account rendered on the 16th of April, 1864, was, at the most, but

prima facie

evidence that there were no other transactions which should properly form a part of it.

(Lockwood

v. Thorne, 18 N. Y. R., 285.) An account rendered is not conclusive against either party

to it,

but may be impeached or corrected, within a reasonable time after its rendition or its receipt.
