115 Mass. 139; 1874 Mass. LEXIS 169

Commonwealth v. Belou

Opinion of the Court

By the Court.

The attestation of a copy of the record of the Municipal Court is in the usual form, and clearly shows that the clerk was the clerk of the same court, without a fuller addition to his signature.

The burden of proving any license, appointment or authority, under which the defendant justified, was upon him, whether he was the proprietor of the place or a mere servant or agent. St. 1864, c. 121. Exceptions overruled.
