Opinion
THE COURT (FITZHUGH, Circuit Judge, absent) directed the jury as prayed, but said it was a question of some doubt, and they would hear the point reargued on a motion for a new trial, if the verdict should be against the defendant. THE COURT (DUCKETT, Circuit Judge, absent) refused to admit the certificate in evidence. The defendant then offered a like certificate signed by Richard Jamieson, collector of the tax for the county of Washington, dated June 12th, 1807, which was also rejected by the court. Verdict for the petitioner.
