1. ““All that has ever been required with reference to the ordinary acknowledgment of a deed is a substantial compliance with the statute. As was truly said in Monroe v. Arledge, 23 Tex. 480 , the material matter to be embraced in the acknowledgment is the execution of the deed. While the statute provides that the officer is to acknowledge the deed as .the act of the corporation, and the officer does not, in express terms, declare that it was the act of the corporation, and so acknowledged, still that was the effect of the acknowledgment. The deed purports to be the act of the corporation, executed by Kerr as president, and he acknowledged that it was executed for the purposes and considerations therein contained. This acknowledgment was in substantial compliance with the statute. In our opinion there was no error in the admission of the deed in evidence.””
