Hamilton's Lessee v. Galloway

And, By the Court: The deed may be read in evidence; for, the recording does not contribute to the proof of the deed, [94] which is established by the oath before the justice; the recording only gives the deed a special operation by the express provisions of the Act of Assembly.* Footnotes [*] This cause was tried at Carlisle N. P. an the 24th of May 1734, before M'Kean, C. J. Atlee and Rush, Justices.
