Excerpt: ...was shown by the certificate of the clerk, this was held sufficient compliance with a statute in Georgia (September 16, 1883) which required the postmaster to indorse upon the package its reception by due course of mail, and to at once deliver the package to the clerk of the court. Killian v. Augusta, etc., R. Co., 78 Ga. 749. Name of Clerk Misspelled.--Where a statute does not require the name of the clerk to be contained in the address on the return, the mere fact of addressing the commission and deposition to "L. Enos Greene," instead of to " Zenos Greene," is immaterial. Rust v. Eckler, 41 N. Y. 488. 1. Morgan v. Jones, 44 Conn. 225; Van Sickle v. Gibson, 40 Mich. 170; Ward v. Ely, 1 Dev. (N. Car.) 372; Nussear v. Arnold, 13 S. & R. (Pa.) 323 Deposition Delivered In Person.--Where depositions were taken by a justice of the peace, and his certificate showed that they had never been out of his possession or altered until he delivered them to the clerk of the court, they were held not to be inadmissible because the justice failed to comply with a statutory requirement relating to commissions, and directing that they be placed in an envelope and sealed, and the seal indorsed with the name of the commissioner and the style of the cause. Hutson v. Hutson, 9 Lea (Tenn.) 354. Evidence of Sealing.--The certificate of the clerk that a deposition was opened and filed by him is prima facie evidence that it was duly sealed up in conformity with the requirements of the statute.

This book was released on 2017-11-10 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hand-Book of Common-Law Pleading In the following pages, the writer has endeavored to state, as clearly and concisely as possible, such of the rules and principles of common-law pleading as are still recognized and applied in this country, omitting such of those found in the old English system as have become obsolete in practice, except where, as in the case of special pleading, they are the foundation of the method now in use, and giving due prominence to those rules whose principles are most noticeably applied in pleading under the codes. Whether the common-law rules are to be taken as directly followed in the latter, aside from the formalities prescribed in the practice acts, or wheth er the rules and principles of code pleading are to be considered as derived simply and only from the statute, the fact remains that a knowledge of the common-law system cannot fail to be of advantage, if, indeed, it is not an essential, to a thorough understanding of both code and equity pleading. It has been the observation and ex perience of the writer, not only that such knowledge enables a lawyer to frame his pleadings under the latter systems with greater ease and accuracy, but that, especially in code pleading, doubts as to the necessity or propriety of particular allegations, where the statute is silent or obscure in its directions, can generally be easily disposed of by an understanding of the reason of the common-law rule in similar cases. A lawyer who enters upon the active practice of his profession with no other guide than what the codes prescribe is but poorly qualified for attaining the important result of placing the statement of a complicated and important case before the court in a logical and concise form.
