Syllabus

<p>1. Evidence. — When the Christian name of a grantee is left blank in a deed, evidence aliunde can be introduced to identify the grantee. See the opinion for evidence of identification held not sufficient.</p> <p>2. Custodian. — The records of a Masonic lodge are admissible to prove the action of that body in adopting a deed made by one of its officers; and it being proven that there was no secretary, and the lodge records being produced from the lodge room by the presiding officer, the acting secretary being sick, they were properly admitted as evidence.</p> <p>3. Deposition — Practice.— Attention again called to the fact that objections to the form and manner of taking depositions should be presented in writing before the trial, or they will not be considered on appeal.</p>
