    CHANDLER against GORDON.
    ON CEETIOBAEI.
    The reason assigned for the reversal of the judgment of the justice was that the justice admitted in evidence, at the trial of the cause, a paper purporting to be a transcript of proceedings had before a [487] justice of the peace of the State of New York, whose signature to the same was altogether unintelligible, no evidence whatever accompanying said transcript, or in any wise showing that the person so alleged to be a justice of the peace was duly appointed or commissioned to act as a justice; the facts appeared from the record to be as above stated.
   By the Court.

We do not conceive it requisite to produce the evidence of the authority of the justice in the State of New York to act as such; but we [*] think that some satisfactory evidence ought to have been given that the magistrate before whom the proceedings were had in the State of New York was acting at the time in that capacity, and that the transcript of his proceedings were certified under his hand.

.Judgment reversed.
