Affirming the decision of the lower
court in the case Of City Commis-'
sioner Frank r. Pou versus a. C. Ell
lis. as sheriff of -Escambia. county
This remanes the case for trial and
dismisses 1.-THE writ Of habeas corpus
The case hinged on two points. The
appellant claimed the statute prohib-
iting the faIsifying of public recorNs
was first enacted in 1882 before there
was such a position as registration
officer of Pensacola and therefore il
was not the legislative intent to in
olude the city registration books. The
court disposed of this almost without
comment, only citing the number OF
public records now in use and not
then existing
The second point was that adding
names. true, did not amount to
falsifying the record. The court said
no precedents were cited and they
had found none. but resorting to Web
ster's International Dictionary the
definition of falsify was quoted and
the opinion concludes with the state
ment that. In the opinion of the court,
that the charge If proven true, would
amount to a falsification OF public
records within the meaning of tha
statute.
