LUCHSINGER & CO., Petitioner-Appellee, v. CORNELIO MELLIZA, Respondent-Appellant.
Salas and Soncuya, for Appellant.
Ruperto Montinola, for Appellee.
SYLLABUS
1. REALTY; PUBLIC DOCUMENT; DECLARATION AGAINST INTEREST; ADMISSIBILITY. — A writing in which the defendant simply recognized a right already existing in favor of the plaintiff is not one which is required 1280 of the Civil Code, and it is therefore admissible in evidence to show that the defendant, at the time, did not claim any right or interest in the property in controversy.
