Syllabus

<p>The book of accounts kept in the office of an alcalde is admissible in evidence, as a register of the acts of that officer, belonging to the office.</p> <p>To entitle a book to the character of an official register, it is not necessary that it be required by an express statute to be kept, nor that the nature of the office should render the book indispensable. It is sufficient that it is directed by the proper officer to be kept.</p>
