Because the authentication of the record was not sufficient. 2.

Decided 1860-05-15

¶1The opinion of the Court, was delivered by

Johnstone, J.

¶2There seems to be little doubt that the *41certificate of one claiming to be, at the time, Chairman of the Court is, substantially, the certificate of the presiding Judge of the Court.

¶3I am of opinion, therefore, that the authentication is a compliance with the Act of Congress; and that the motion should be refused, and the appeal dismissed, and it is so ordered.

O’Neall, C. J., and Wardlaw, J., concurred.

¶4Motion dismissed.
