Judge Mitchell, of the Tioga county
Court, has created something like sensa-
tion among the lawyers over there by de-
Gliding that the scroll Il. 81 is not legal
seal, but simply mark to indicate where
the seal should be placed on printed docu-
ments. The initials stand for the Latin
locus segeli, "place OF the SEAL" and were
first used by William Bradford,a printer OF
the time of William Penn. Judge Mitchell
held that this scroll on judgment note
was not seal, and the note being without
a seal is invalid. As legal documents OF
many kinds are attested in this way the
lawyers are wondering what the limit of
the mischief would be people would deny
the validity of the documents
