“‘[T]he general rule undoubtedly is that a court will not travel outside the record of the case before it in order to take judicial notice of the proceedings in another case____ But in exceptional cases, as high authority shows, the dictates of logic will yield to the demands of justice, and the courts in order to reach a just result, will make use of established and uncontroverted facts not formally of record in the pending litigation.’”
