Hamilton's Lessee v. Galloway

1 U.S. 93, 1 Dall. 93

Opinion

And,

By the Court:

The deed may be read in evidence; for, the recording does not contribute to the proof of the deed, which is established by the oath before the justice; the recording only gives the deed a special operation by the express provisions of the Act of Assembly.
