Commonwealth v. Meckling , 2 Watts 130 ( 1833 )

Per Curiam.

The docket of the justice was competent evidence if duly authenticated. The receipt of the jailor was properly excluded for the variance as the declaration stood; but the description of it ought to have been amended. The case was within not only the true intent of the act of assembly, but the express provision; and the denial of the amendment was error.

Judgment reversed, and a venire ele novo awarded.
