The opinion
Davis, C. J.
(concurring).—I concur with this observation: where a certificate of acknowledgment recites affirmatively that the parties
did
appear before the officer, jurisdiction is presumed, and such, certificate of acknowledgment js to be taken as. a quasi-judicial record which cannot be overthrown, except upon clear and convincing affirmative evidence to the effect that the officer’s certificate is in effect a pure fabrication. In other words, the falsification or

■fabrication of a certificate of acknowledgment is a fraud for which a remedy exists. But every presumption of law and of fact is in favor of the verity of the recited facts specified in an acknowledgment, and a certificate of acknowledgment in proper form should be sustained by and through its own force and effect as evidence, unless clearly and affirmatively impeached.
