State v. Messick

charged the jury, that a receipt under seal is conclusive, and cannot be controverted; but it was for them to say whether the sum stated in the receipt to have been received of Philip Short, was applicable to the recognizance. If it was, it was conclusive, and could not be contradicted by paroi evidence. Outten v. Knowles et al., 4 Harr. 533; 5 Saund. Pl. & Ev. 749.
