Syllabus

<p>Syllabus.</p> <p>1. The rule Is that the testimony of a witness taken at the preliminary examination cannot be used on the final trial without a showing of either the death, or the permanent absence of the witness from the State; and Act 123 of 1898, organizing the Criminal City Courts for the Parish of Orleans, does not change this rule.</p> <p>2. An act will not be so interpreted as to give to Its provisions an operation beyond the scope of its title.</p> <p>3. A judicial record for the making of which the law provides, makes full proof of itself. Neither Its execution, nor Its contents, need be proved aliunde.</p>
