in evidence, are the declarations which a party, by himself or those who act under his authority, makes of the existence of certain facts. These admissions are generally evidence of those facts, when the admissions themselves are proved. 7 The admissibility and effect of evidence of this description will be considered generally, with respect to the nature and manner of the admission itself; and, secondly, with respect to the parties to be affected by it. In the first place, as to the nature and manner of the admission; it is either made, first, expressly with a view to evidence; or, secondly, with a@ view to induce others to act upon the representation; or thirdly, it is an admission made with a view to evidence may be mentioned the case where a party has solemnly admitted a fact under his hand and seal, in which case he is estopped not only from disputing the deed itself, but every fact which it recites.
