Circumstantial evidence } (
Law ),
evidence obtained from circumstances ,
which necessarily or usually attend facts of a particular nature ,
from which arises presumption .
According to some authorities circumstantial is distinguished from positive evidence in that the latter is the testimony of eyewitnesses to a fact or the admission of a party ;
but the prevalent opinion now is that all such testimony is dependent on circumstances for its support .

Wharton .
