delivered the opinion of the court.

This is an action of ejectment instituted in the Leake county circuit court. Huntington claimed title to the land in question, by virtue of a purchase under a sheriff’s sale. The bill of exceptions shows a copy of the judgment duly certified by the clerk, and also a copy of the venditioni exponas, under which the purchase of the land was made by Huntington. The sole objection made here is, that the evidence to this point was im*113properly admitted, because no copy of a record is evidence unless it contain a certificate of the proper officer that it is a copy of the whole record. A copy of the judgment, and of the venditioni exponas emanating from that judgment, constitute all that is necessary in a case of the kind before us, to be introduced from the record of the suit. These copies, having been separately certified by the clerk, were properly admitted as evidence. 3 How. 429.

Judgment affirmed.
