Hill, C. J.

¶11. Where the original mortgage was in the possession of the defendant in a criminal case, a certified copy of the same, made from the record, is admissible in evidence against him, as against the objection that the original is the highest evidence, unless he voluntarily offers to produce the original. Kinard v. State, ante, 146.
