Opinion

Van Ness, J.

■ The exemplification is not evidence; the original mortgage must be produced. In suit in our own courts, the rules of evidence there established must be observed. The rule, as contended for by the defendants, would make a mere registry of all foreign deeds evidence, which might be productive of serious evil.
