Syllabus

<p>ACKNOWLEDGMENTS —• IMPEACHMENT OF NOTARY’S CERTIFICATE.</p> <p>A notary’s certificate of acknowledgment to a mortgage cannot be impeached by the testimony of the mortgagors that the wife never acknowledged it, where they admit that she signed the instrument and that they received and used the money, and their denial of the wife’s acknowledgment is uncorroborated by other positive and credible evidence besides their own, except that of a witness who testified that the notary had certified acknowledgments in other cases without the parties appearing before him, but who was without personal knowledge as to the facts in the case on trial.</p>
