69In every court or tribunal, and in all legal proceedings in respect of which the Legislature has authority so to enact, a copy of any entry in any book of account kept in any department of the Government of Canada or of this Province shall be received as prima facie evidence of such entry, and of the matters, transactions and accounts therein recorded, if it is proved by the oath or affidavit of an officer of such department that such book was, at the time of the making of the entry, one of the ordinary books kept in such department, that the entry was apparently, and as the deponent believes, made in the usual and ordinary course of business of such department, and that such copy is a true copy thereof.
