| I wholly accept that the doctrine admits the hearsay statements, not only where the declarant is dead or otherwise not available but when he is called as a witness. |
| The declarant for his part may demonstrate that the 'transaction' value closely approximates other reference values. |
| As in the first instance above, I find this hearsay evidence to be necessary as the declarant is now deceased. |
| In all cases, the declarant shall produce the identity cards of the parents of the newborn child in question. |
| And still more so when the argument is for punishing more gravely the enemy of the declarant. |
| While that is hearsay evidence and not admissible to prove that the accident did occur at that time, it is admissible evidence relevant to the state of mind of the declarant. |
