Opinion of the Court
Opinion by
§ 92. Foreign judgment; certified copy of, evidence in suit on; need not show on its face whether plaintiff therein was a firm or corporation, etc. Appellant brought this action against appellee as administrator of the estate of D. M. Hickman, deceased, to establish a claim against said estate, said claim having been presented to and rejected by said, administrator. Said claim is a judgment rendered by the circuit court of Boone county, in the state of Missouri, in 1879, in favor of appellant, against D. M. Hickman and William C. Duncan, for the sum of $208.63 and costs. On the trial of the cause appellant offered in evidence a certified copy of said judgment, duly authenticated in the mode required by law, to which, as evidence, appellee objected: (1) Because said judgment did not show upon its face whether the plaintiff therein was a firm or a corporation; (2) that, if plaintiff therein was a firm, it was not shown therein what persons composed said firm; (3) that it was not shown that the plaintiff in said judgment was the plaintiff in this suit. These objections were sustained, and appellant was not permitted to read sai'd certified copy of said judgment in evidence; and judgment was i’endered for appellee. It was error to reject said certified copy of the judgment as evidence. It was alleged in appellant’s pleading that appellant was a corporation, and was the plaintiff in said judgment. It was not necessary that the truth of these allegations should appear upon the face of said judg
Reversed and remanded.
