Bouvier's Law Dictionary and Concise Encyclopedia
A conclusion drawn by reason from premises established by proof. A deduction or conclusion from facts or propositions known to be true.
Gates v. Hughes, 44 Wls. 836.
When the facts are submitted to the court, the Judges draw the Inference; when they are to be ascertained by a Jury, the jury must do so. The witness is not permitted, as a general rule, to draw an inference and testify that to the court or Jury. It is his duty to state the facts simply as they occurred. Inferences differ from presumptions
