“This was an action of assumpsit. The principal item in the bill of particulars delivered to the defendant, was one for about $1700 principal, interest and costs, paid by the plaintiff under an execution upon a judgment rendered on a custom house bond to the United States, executed by the defendant as principal, and the plaintiff as his surety. To prove this item, the plaintiff offered in evidence a paper under the seal of the district court of Pennsylvania, certified by the clerk of that court to be a true copy of the docket entries in a suit of the United States vs. Dayton and Leveringe, with a certificate of the judge of that court subjoined; ‘that the above attestation is in due form. The contents of this paper were nearly as follow: viz. ‘United States vs. Leveringe, &.c. nar. filed—on motion judgment for the United States vs. Leveringe; exit capias ad satisfaciendum, $1602,’ to which are added the interest and costs in figures. ‘July 3d. Satisfaction acknowledged.’”
