"Having compared the annexed account of the qualities of the seventeen cows of my 

 herd, examined by the State Guenon Commission, with the originals of the accounts as 

 given by both parties at separate times, and taken down upon the spot, I believe it to 

 be a true and faithful transcript of the original record of the examination.
