Schnertzell v. Young

Opinion of the Court

The defendant objected to this paper being read to the jury, it being not legal evidence. But the court overruled the objection, and adjudged the said paper to be proper and legal evidence.

The general court reversed the judgment of the county court, upon the ground that the clerk of the council was not an officer competent by law to authenticate copies.

A procedendo was awarded, and the record remitted to the county court.
