Fitzhugh on the 31st of December, 1319, purporting to convey to the defendant, for the use of certain enumerated creditors, his slaves, goods, and debts, which deed On the trial, the garnishee offered to read from the record books of the county, the memorial of the deed which has been mentioned, to which the plaintiff objected, and insisted that the original ought to be produced. The Court overruled this objection, and the copy was read. To this opinion of the Court the plaintiff's counsel excepted; and he now insists, that there is no law of the State of Maryland which directs a deed of the description of that of which a copy was read in this case, to be recorded; and that, if there were such a law, still the original ought to be produced, if within the power of the party claiming under it.
