ment from the court in which the same was rendered show-
ing such judgment or judgments to have been still unsat-
isfied more than thirty (30) days after the same became
final, as aforesaid, and shall remain so suspended and shall
not be renewed, nor shall any motor vehicle be thereafter
registered in his name while any such judgment remains
unstayed, unsatisfied and subsisting and until every such
judgment is satisfied or discharged and until the said per-

ment creditor, to the Commissioner a certified copy of such
judgment or a transcript thereof, as aforesaid. In the

of the Commissioner to transmit to the Commissioner of
Motor Vehicles or officer in charge of the issuance of oper-
ators' permits and registration certificates of the State or
Province of which the defendant is a resident, a certified
copy of the said judgment. If after such proof has been
given, any other such judgment shall be recovered against
