In any legal
proceedings in which it is necessary to prove —
(a) the
state of an account in the books of any bank; or
(b) that
any person had not an account or any funds to his credit in such books,
it shall not be
necessary to produce any such book, but evidence of the state of such account,
or that no such account or funds existed, may be given either orally or by
affidavit by any officer or clerk of such bank who has examined such books.
