¶1This is an appeal from an order of the Court below, allowing its records to be amended so as to make them “ speak the truth.”
¶2It satisfactorily appears from the evidence that the records were erroneous in certain particulars, and those errors were corrected 'by the Court on motion of the respondents. In our opinion, the Court acted properly, and within its authority, in directing the corrections to be made. (Rousset v. Boyle, 45 Cal. 64; McLeran v. McNamara, 55 id. 508.)
