Opinion

Shippen, Justice:

It must not be understood, that ex parte affidavits taken in other states, are admissible evidence in cases of pedigree. I concur in the opinion of the Court, upon the peculiar circumstances of the case, and the production of the paper itself. The general principle, attempted to be inferred by the defendant’s counsel, must not be considered as involved in this decision.

Rule discharged.
