Moulson against Hargrave.
    In Error.
    It is not necessary that depositions taken under a commission, should be subscribed by the ■witnesses.
    IN this case, Philips for the plaintiff in error, took several exceptions. The only one, however, on which he relied was, that the depositions of witnesses taken under a commission, were not signed by the witnesses; nor did it appear, except in the body of the certificate, that they had been sworn.
    Allibone, for the defendant in error,
    was proceeding to answer the objection, but the Court, without hearing him, ordered the judgment to be affirmed; it having been decided by this Court, and by the Circuit Court of the United States for this District, that it is not necessary for the witnesses to subscribe.
   Judgment affirmed.
