Cardona, 96 PA i : SEC: 26, RULE 180 EVIDENCE a QUESTION 5. — Is the act of repairing the defect which causeed con injury to be construed as an implied admission of negligence? ANSWER, — Implied admission of negligence may not be inferred from an set of repairing a defect which eaused an injury, The rule is founded on sound reasons and good poliey. A person may hive exereised all the care which the Jew required, and yet, in the light of his new ‘experience, after an unexpected accident has occurred, and a8 a measure of extreme caution, he may adopt additional safeguards. The more care~ {ula person is, the more regard he hes for the lives of others, the more Tikely he would be to do eo, and it would seen usjust that he eould nok do 20 without being lable to‘have such acts construed as an admission of prior negligence. Says Baron Bromvell: “People do not furnish evidence ‘against themselves slmply by adopting a new plan in order to prevent the recurrence of an accident, ‘To hold a proposition to the contrary would be barbarous. It would be to hold that, beeause the world gets wiser as it gets older, therefore it was foolish before.” A rule which so operates ag fo deter men from profiting by experience, and avaling themselves of new information, has nothing to commend it, for it is neither expedient no just." QUESTION 6. — Distinguish admission from confession. ANSWER. — A distinetion must be made between confessions and admissions, A confession, a distinguished from an adimission, isa declara Hion-made at any time by a person, voluntarily and without compulsion or inducement, stating or acknowledging that hé had committed or particinatad inthe commission of erime. ‘The term admission, on the ther hand is usually applied in.eriminal cases to statements of fact by the accused which do not direct involve an acknowledgment of the gullt of the accused or of criminal intent to commit the offense with which he is charged. QUESTION 7. — Distinguish admission from declaration against interest. ANSWER. — An admission is distingiiahablefrom_a declaration against interest in several respects, ‘The admission is_primary evidence and is receivable, although the declarant is available a @ witness; it competent only when the declarant, oF someone identified in legal interest with him, is a party to the action; and need not have been considered ly the dettran¢ as opposed to his interest at the time when it was made. ‘The declaration Syatast Interest is in the nature of secondary evidence, recelvable only" When. Tarant is unavailable as a witness; It is ‘competent in any action to which it is relevant, although the declarant isnot a party to, or in privity with, any party to the action; and it must have been, when made, te the knowledge of the declarant, against his abvioas and real interest.* QUESTION 8. — How is the term “party” used in the rule cons- trued? _ ANSWER. — The rule makes reference to the act; declaration or mission of a party xxx, Wrerve Havie & 1 RCo, va Clem, 188 Ind. 16, 18, 28 NE. £65,966, 7 LILA. ir ieee 1 A ha nat we, Sane 18 RULES OF COURT SEC. 26, RULE 199 me rocedsat Pty" is meant party to the action who has been served with QUESTION 8. — What is the recson of the an admission Of « party i evidence against hip SO °F Me rie that an am ANSWER. — The rule that the act, declrati pert may be given in evidence spun hin phased pa he {hat no man could declare anything against himself unless euch decor ratlons were true.” A man's act, conduct, and declarations, Sheva Soc Yovided they be voluntary, are admiaibe aguint Re 2 at itis fair to presume correspond with the’ it fa they do wot" than co aor freaks Co firmed by the fa fur the value of perv the itr’ house © Mipates the aoc ty ANSWER. — It is rue that“ stetament fs not compete . - ‘atement isnot eompetnt ax an dear aged haat aan iy aa ite = the fat hich s sought an SEGRE gsi be cope thre ree nite certain sod are a of the Ph vw: Bly & Siety Coy 61 PB 6) Poin Talc UREN Pn a son ll i «em ANSWER. — ‘An admission may be introduced in eviden ays: (a) as Independent evidence, and 0) 20 ei nee to a) Ae independent evidence. — Admissions are origi TEESE tha 971, og Section 22, (now See. 26) Bute 180 of the Ricles of Court Provide see ct i ou no tt a 2 Seemny eam rae int bs ES ste Sata asa ene reel re idence by Haley, Behbis KK ip RieStt ary See feiher with bulatlon Esai Ki covering ‘the period from: October 16, of fe Jemeary 22 ictor faye, Keller's finance manager, submitted a's Soh SRC iba et SP Gow Morctng or alr cad BaBB JC Hbeard'A, Keer cay BU, COB Gey ref ete Traby vs Seber, a2 Pa, St. 20, ™ mugmor on Evin (Stud Testy tae * HME Po, ® Pi. as, ea, GS Foseing, Uh."

If the witness states the substance of the conversation ‘or declaration, the admission of his testimony is not erroneous. When the admission is in a private writing, there must be some proof ‘of the authenticity or identity of the writing in accordance with Section 20, Rule 182 of the Rules of Court, that is, the party offering it must prove its due execution and authenticity, Where the admission is in a public document, the same does not need any authentication since Section 20, Rule 182, provides that public documents are evidence, even against fa third person, of the fact that gave rise to their execution and of the date of the latier. {b) As impeaching evidence. — If proof of the admission is sought for impeachment, purposes, a proper foundation must be laid for the ‘impeaching questions, by calling the attention of such party to his former statement so as to give him an opportunity to explain before such admis~ slons arv offered in evidence This is in conformity with Section 18, Rule 182, which provides that “before a witness can be impeached by evidence that he has made at other times statements inconsistent with his present testimony, the statements must be related to him, with the circumstances of the times and places and the persons preseit, and he ‘must be asked whether he made such statements, and if s0, allowed to plain them, If the statements be in writing they must be shown to ‘the witness before any question is put to him concerning them.” ‘The following examples ilustrate the rules regarding the introduc- tion of admissions in evidence either as an independent evidence or as Impeaching. evidence: P sues D for a balance due and unpaid for groceries furnished, ‘The claim is for P175 due on July 81, "D disputes the amount due, and offers a statement of account sont by P in September reading “Balance due — al OS. 6, ‘The. defendant offered in evidence testimony given im an earlier cate by members fue plant frm, ie was eld thet if nach acimony cotained admissions beset Ingest by the parien te the action or their agents, would hae born stimiaie iithoot the laying of a foundation aed without the witneces paving tstfnd {heeaae at bart but the porpoes af the offer nue evidrty fp impeach The textnnony tthe sume wilneses in the preset cane and 3 so, a foubfation sheald Dave been fo the former vsteents 9 a neg to impeach wines of the adversary by prot of = should, im the erosxanination of sock wes, ay aus forthe Introduction of the contradictory pont by asking the witeet fhe lee specified aka crate eatements differnt from thane UB.

ANSWER. — The rensons for the inadmissibility of self-serving cclarations in favor of the declarant are: firstly, the inherent untrust- worthiness of the dedlarations; secondly, the fact that to permit their introduction would open the door to fraud and fabrication of testimony ; and thirdly, the fact that if testified to by one other than the declarant, they would be hearsay?
