Harrell v. . Elliott , 1 N.C. 92 ( 1798 )

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 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.
