1Opinion of the Court
Watts, J. Com. App.
Only one question is presented by the record in this case for determination, and that is, did the court err in excluding from the jury the certified transcript from the supreme court of New York?
The judgment recites that the cause was tried before Justice Van Brunt, at a circuit court held at the court-house in the city of New York on the 24th day of January, 1873. The certificate is by “ Abraham R. Laurence, justice of the supreme court of the state of New York for the city and county of New York,” and bears date January 15, 1874.
