Harrell v. . Elliott

The defendant offered one of the Justices of the Court to prove that he had received the examination of the feme; but,

By the Court: What is done in Court can only be proved by the records of the Court; and though the act does not expressly require the *Page 92 woman's acknowledgment to be put into writing, or to be recorded, yet it is required that it should be made in Court, and received by a member of the Court. The evidence, therefore, cannot be received.

Verdict for the plaintiff.
