  2. Title 67

Any owner of said abstracts, copies or minutes shall have the

right to file a petition at any regular term of the county or

district court of the county, in which petition he shall set forth

the manner in which such abstracts, copies or minutes were made or

procured, and if the court shall find from the evidence produced

(which evidence shall be preserved as hereinbefore provided) that

said abstracts, copies, or minutes were fairly made in the regular

course of business before such destruction of the records, the court

shall enter his decree to that effect, and the evidence produced on

the trial of said cause shall be entered of record at large as a

part of the decree of the court. And thereupon said abstracts,

copies or minutes of said burnt records shall be taken as prima

facie evidence of all such matters as they contain (but no such

abstract, copies, minutes or extracts shall be taken or held to be

prima facie evidence of what they contain that does not purport to

recite all deeds and mortgages previously executed and recorded, and

describing the several tracts of land and town lots to which said

abstracts, copies, minutes or extracts refer from the date of

entry): Provided, that all abstracts to separate tracts of lands

made by the owner of said abstracts shall also be taken as prima

facie evidence of what they contain when they shall be accompanied

with an affidavit signed and sworn to by the owner of said

abstracts, copies, minutes or extracts, showing that said separate

abstracts contain a full, true and perfect copy of all transfers on

the tracts set forth in said separate abstracts as appears upon said

abstracts, copies, minutes or extracts, as established by the county

or district court of the county, and that said separate abstracts

contain all deeds, mortgages and other liens on said separate

tracts, as shown by said abstracts, copies, minutes or extracts

established as aforesaid.
