Registrar of Caguas, ante, p. 874.
    The facts are stated in the opinion..
    
      Mr. Luis Muñoz Morales for the appellant.
    The respondent did not appear.
   Mr. Justice Wole

delivered the opinion of the court.

The only difference between this case and that of La-Plata Tobacco Company v. Registrar of Caguas, ante, p. 874, decided to-day, is that the secretary of the corporation appeared before a different notary from the one who attested the main deed, hut such a certificate executed before any notary and identified- by such notary is sufficiently a public document to cure tlie defect pointed out by tlie registrar.

The note of tbe registrar must be

Reversed.

Chief Justice Hernández and Justices del Toro, .A Id rey and -Hutchison concurred.
