Opinion

Per Curiam.

It is a general rule to admit proof by reputation, that a person acts as a general public officer or deputy. In Berryman v. Wise, (4 Term, 366.) the court of K. B. in England, decided, that in the case of all peace officers, justices of the peace, constables, &c. it was sufficient to prove that they acted in those characters, without producing their appointments, and that even in a case of murder.

Jud'-ment reversed.
