Knowlton, J.

¶1In each of these cases the complaint purported to have been properly received and sworn to before the Police Court of Haverhill, and the warrant to have been properly issued by the court. The motion to dismiss was rightly overruled. The oral evidence offered to impeach the record was incompetent. Kelley v. Dresser, 11 Allen, 31. Commonwealth v. Intoxicating Liquors, 135 Mass. 519.
