Alexander Work.\nThe Defendant on his part offered in evidence the deposition of a Mrs. Work, which appeared not to have been signed by her \u2014 objected, that a deposition thus circumstanced cannot be read, because if the party had sworn falsely, she could not be indicted for it $ or if indicted, she could not be convicted, the deposition not being signed by her could not be given in evidence against her: and to support this position, was cited Bull. Nisi Vrius 23<). But per Judge Williams, Judge Jlshe assenting \u2014in. case of an indictment for perjury for a false oath in ma* king a deposition; it is most proper that the party\u2019s name should be signed, in order that she may be more easily identified by proof of her hand-writing \u2014 yet if she can be otherwise proved toJiave sworn to the deposition, she may be convicted 5 therefore tin's deposition should be received, though it be not signed by the deponent. Vide 1 P. Wil. 414. a Eq. C. M. 417, contra, and the deposition was read accordingly."
