(Supreme Court, Appellate Term.
June, 1901.)
Action by Henry H. McCorkle against William H. Ellis.
William O. Prime, for appellant. Henry H. McCorkle, pro se.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The record offered in evidence was not exemplified as required by Rev. St. U. S. § 905. Neither can the transcript of the justice, with the certificate of the county clerk attached, be availed of, as Texas is not an adjoining state. Code Civ. Proc. § 948; Bent v. Glaenzer, 17 Misc. Rep. 569, 40 N. Y. Supp. 657. The only other method of proving the jurisdictional fact is by common-law proof. Judgment reversed, and new trial ordered, with costs to abide event.
