Record of Title — Corporation — Certificate of Resolution — Public Document.— The certificate of the secretary of a corporation to a resolution adopted by it and omitted in an original deed may be legalDed before a different notary from the one who attested the original deed, in accordance with the doctrine established by this court in La Plata Tobacco Com-partí/ v. Registrar of Caguas, ante, p. 874.
The facts are stated in the opinion..
Mr. Luis Muñoz Morales for the appellant.
The respondent did not appear.

Opinion:
Mr. Justice Wole
delivered the opinion of the court.
The only difference between this case and that of La-Plata Tobacco Company v. Registrar of Caguas, ante, p. 874, decided to-day, is that the secretary of the corporation appeared before a different notary from the one who attested the main deed, hut such a certificate executed before any notary and identified- by such notary is sufficiently a public document to cure tlie defect pointed out by tlie registrar.
The note of tbe registrar must be
Reversed.
Chief Justice Hernández and Justices del Toro, .A Id rey and -Hutchison concurred.
