Syllabus
<p>NOTARIES-CERTIFICATE OF ACKNOWLEDGMENT-SUFFICIENCY.</p> <p>The failure of a notary to add to his certificate of acknowledgment of a mortgage a statement of his place of residence is not a material defect such as would invalidate the mortgage as against third parties, when his certificate was regular in all other respects, as required by Bal. Code, § 4533, prescribing the form of certificates of acknowledgment, although § 249, Id., prescribes that “when the notary public shall sign any instrument officially, he shall, in addition to his name and the words ‘notary public,’ add his place of residence and affix his official seal.”</p>
