This minute or memorandum states that William Currie. a native of Scotland. who had emigrated to Virginia. took the oath. Do I need to say to the lawyers of this body that such a minute is not a recordthat if such a minute were made in a commonlaw proceeding and execution issued upon it. the execution would be invalid. That has been decided so often that it would be almost an insult to quote law upon a question of that kind. But the Supreme Court disposes of that question. There was issued to Currie a certificate simply reciting that he had taken the oath of allegiance and renunciation.
