Supreme Court of Delaware October 15, 1796 (Horsey's Executors v. Moor)

Per Curiam.

It is the opinion of the Court that the book is not admissible evidence for the purpose for which it is offered. The case is clearly within the words of the Act of Assembly [1 Body Laws 347] which requires that the evidence relative to any interest claimed in land should be under the hand of the party.
