tried may give in evidence any patent, deed or other paper
which would be evidence in the cause, if it shall be located in
whole, or only such part thereof as may be necessary to prove
or illustrate the matters in controversy, either by actual qurvey
or by protraction as herein provided, if said patent, deed or
other paper shall be upon the aforesaid list furnished to and

closing of the galleries, headings, rooms or other excavations
constituting or leading to such trespasses, then and in all such
cases it shall be lawful and proper to prove such trespasses by
any evidence otherwise competent and admissible, notwith-
standing such trespasses cannot be and have not been located
on the plats and notwithstanding that the defendant has taken
defense on warrant.
