moved to dismiss the writ of error in this case for the want of a citation. None appeared in the record.

delivered the opinion of the court, saying, that the citation was not necessarily a part of the record, it forming no part of the proceedings of the court below. The presumption is, that one was issued when the writ of error was allowed, and it may be proved aliimde.
