Origin of "This Indenture."

Legal documents were once en-
crossed on parchment because paper
cost so much more than dressed skin.
The parchment was seldom trimmed
exactly and the top was scalloped
with the knife, hence the term "this
indenture." Even where the lawyers
have departed from the custom, still
obtaining in England, of using parch-
ment for their legal forms, the phrase
has been retained.

plaintiffs in the suit against the direc-

for money lost in the failure have
filed motions in the supreme court
asking that the bills of exceptions on
which the cases were taken to the
supreme court be quashed because Of
defective authorization and failure to
attach the exhibits. The point raised
in the case is the same as that on
which the supreme court based its de-

pared in several volumes and the
proper certificates were not attached
to each of them by way of authentica-

to properly authenticate requires that
the entire bill be quashed
