C., 396, for that the Court inadvertently failed to pass upon the exception that'the Court below excluded competent parol evidence which was offered to prove that there was\u2019in fact a seal to the Sheriff\u2019s deed. If that had been shown, the most critical examination could not have distinguished this case from Heath v. Cotton Mills, 115 N. C., 202. In that case it was held that where the record represents on its face, as by recitals or otherwise, that the instrument was sealed, and, in fact, it was duly sealed, the record is valid and sufficient as notice, though it does not show a copy of the seal or any device representing it. Todd v. Union, 118 N. Y., 347, is also \u201con all-fours\u201d with this case. There the original tax deed had been lost and the record showed no seal. But the Court held that, as one witness swore that there was a seal on the origina] and the record of the deed recited \u201cWitness my hand and seal,\u201d there was evidence to go to the jury upon the question. Somewhat to same purport are Carpenter v. Dexter, 75 U. S., 513; Starkweather v. Martin, 28 Mich., 471; Geary v. Kansas City, 61 Mo., 379; Norfleet v. Russell, 84 Mo., 177; Long v. Joplin, 68 Mo., 422; Hammond v. Gordon, 93 Mo., 224; Flowery v. Bonanza, 16 Nev., 302; Jones v. Martin, 16 Cal., 165; Abb. Tr. Ev., 483.\nIn Patterson v. Galliher, 122 N.
