In this case there was convincing evidence that the constable permitted the accused person to go at large, and from the law now read by the attorney-general it seems the Court erred in excluding the mittimus,1 therefore let the defendant pay all costs.
CAMPBELL and OVERTON, JJ., concurred in this opinion.
NOTE. — The weight of authority seems to sanction the position that the courts will judicially know the public officers of the State and counties, and their signatures without any official designation.
