Syllabus

<p>1. Judgment in another State—how authenticated. Where a transcript of a judgment in a court of another State is certified by the clerk of the court, and the presiding judge certifies that the attestation is in due form, it is a substantial compliance with the act of Congress of May 26, 1790.</p> <p>2. Bankruptcy—should be pleaded. It is not error to exclude a certificate of bankruptcy offered in evidence by the defendant, where the same has not been pleaded.</p> <p>. 3. Same—debts contracted by fraud of the bankrupt, not discharged. A discharge in bankruptcy is no defense to a suit on a judgment, which was for the “ covins, frauds, wrongs and injuries ” committed by the bankrupt defendant.</p>
