South Australian Consolidated Acts South Australian Consolidated Acts55—After notice, sending a message may be proved by production of copy
message and evidence of payment of fees for transmission
In any legal proceedings, the production of any telegraphic message, or of a
machine copy or press copy thereof, or a copy thereof verified on oath or
affirmation together with evidence that such message was duly taken to a
telegraph station, and that the fees (if any) for the transmission thereof
were duly paid, shall be prima facie evidence that such message was duly
delivered to the person named therein as the person to whom the same was to be
transmitted; and the burden of proving that such message was not in fact
received, shall be upon the person against whom such message shall be given in
evidence: Provided that the party adducing the same in evidence shall give
notice to the other party of his intention so to do in such manner and at such
time as the practice of the court requires with respect to a notice to produce
documents at the trial or hearing.
