M'ARTHUR v. MORRISON.
Supreme Court of Georgia.
June 3, 1899.

A DEED MORE THAN THIRTY
YEARS OLD, APPARENTLY GEN
UJN3. AND COMING FROM THE
PROPER CUSTODY IS ADMIssI-
BILE IN EVIDENCE AS AN AN
GENT DOCUMENT WITHOUT
PROOF OF EXECUTION, wHETH-
. Err RECORDED OR NOT REcoRD-
ED.
The point decided appears from the
opinion of the court.
The court says:
The paper in question appeared 10 be
more than 80 years old. It bore no ap-
pearance of having been altered 1t
came from the proper custody, and, as
said by Mr.. Blackstone, IT, proves itself.
It's bare production Is sufficient. The
subscribing witnesses being presumed
to be dead, such presumption. so far as
this rule of evidence is concerned is not
affected by proof that the witnesses are
living. This paper, then. was entitled
to be admitted In evidence as an an
Client deed, both under the provision of
our statute and under the rule at COM
mon law, without proof OF execution
1t certainly cannot be that the fact Of
its registration put on the plaintiff the
burden of proving It's execution. for
registration could take away none of
he privileges it had as an ancient doc
ument.

Ne Was "Shouts Outside.

One by Stuart Robson: r. f. Graham
on one occasion :.suped" in production
Of Forests, doing. with the assistance OF
several others, what is technically known
as ''shouts Outside"-that is. he was part
of a supposed mob that yelled at the
proper time, but did not appear on the
scene. Some OF his more sophisticated
comrades conceived the idea of making
Graham up grotesquely, with a big red
nose, a ridiculously lined face and the
parts of several different costumes. Thus
attired he was to be sent on the stage
during one Of the tragedian's most I'M
pressive scenes. Fortunately for Forrest
and for Graham. too--that actor saw the
scarecrow before it was too late.
well. what on earth are you made up
for?" he demanded.
''Shouts outside" answered Graham IN
all sincerity.
The old actor had the gout at the time,
but, unaware of the deep-dyed pio:
against him. laughed heartily.
'fWell. my boy. go take it off,, he said.
But. say you'll be comedian yet.
