Description
In its petition for rehearing, the respondent takes exception to the statement in our opinion that it is never the function of a rebuttable presumption to shift the burden of proof, citing Heiner v. Donnan, 285 U.S. 312, 52 S. Ct. 358, 76 L. Ed. 772; but while the language of that opinion at the top of page 329 supports respondent. the decision itself does not, since the court was dealing with a conclusive presumption.It was not dealing with a rebuttable presumption, and its statement that the latter had the effect of shifting the burden of proof was dictum.
