¶1Upon this question there is a conflict of authority, the later opinion being that of Brown, J., in Re Butterfield, [Case No. 2.24S], sustaining such an acknowledgment. This opinion meets with my approval; but in order that there shall be an uniformity of practice in the first circuit,' I have conferred with Mr. Justice Clifford, and am authorized to say that he concurs with Judge Brown. The power of attorney is accepted and ordered to be filed.
