        "text": "Mr. Chief Justice English\ndelivered the opinion of the court.\nMahan presented to the probate court of White county, for allowance against the estate of John Owen, deceased, a transcript of what purported to be a decree of some court, in favor of Mahan, against Owen, for a sum of money.\nMary A. Owen, the administratrix of John Owen, contested the claim, it was disallowed, and on appeal by Mahan to the circuit court, the judgment of the probate court was affirmed.\nIt seems that the probate court rejected the demand, because the affidavit was not subscribed by Mahan,, and the transcript was not properly authenticated.\nThe first objection was not well taken, as held in Gill et al. vs. Ward et al. 22 Ark.\nPassing over the informality of the certificate of authentication, attached to the transcript of the decree, in other respects, neither the certificate, the caption, nor the body of the transcript, shows what court rendered the decree.\nFor this cause the transcript was properly excluded, and the claim disallowed.\nJudgment affirmed.",
