1Opinion of the CourtCrosby, J.
This is an action on a judgment rendered by a court in the State of New York against the defendant. Although the record of the judgment is not before us, the bill of exceptions recites that it was introduced in evidence and that it contained a return under oath by the party who made service on the defendant. No objection was made to the introduction of the record.
