• Court: Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
• Decided: September 15, 1784
• Status: Published

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.
