When the transcript provided for in Code Section 24-13-5 is produced in court, if the adverse party is dissatisfied therewith and swears that he or she believes that the books contain entries material to the adverse party which do not appear in the transcript, the court shall grant him or her a commission directed to certain persons named by the parties and approved by the court. The commission shall cause the person with possession of the books to produce the books required with the person swearing that the books produced are all that he or she has or had that answer to the description in the subpoena or notice to produce. The commission shall examine the books and transmit to the court a full and fair statement of the accounts and entries between the parties under their hand. When received by the court, the statement of the commission shall be deemed a compliance with the notice to produce or subpoena for the production of evidence.

Notice to insurance company.

Merchant's books.

- Transcript from merchant's books, made out and produced under notice, and inspected by the party giving the notice, should be allowed to go to the jury as evidence in the case. Fielder & Bros. & Co. v. Collier, 13 Ga. 496 (1853).
