Analysis
No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.
Opinion — Terry
The opinion of the Court was delivered by Mr. Justice Terry.
Mr. Chief Justice Murray concurred.
There was no error in admitting in evidence the book of accounts kept in the office of the alcalde. It was a register of acts done by the officer, kept by his direction, and was handed over by each alcalde to his successor as belonging to the office.
*676To 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 be directed by the proper authority to be kept. 1 Green. Ev., § 496.
Judgment affirmed.
