<br />§ 14A 1. Method.
<br />While the strict 'r rles applied to judicial records are not usually
<br />applied in the correction ofmunicipal records,' amendments should
<br />be made only on evidence sho wig the fact .2 And it has been said
<br />that, ordinarily, they should be made from original documents or
<br />minutes, -3 not from mere oral st ternents,4 not Upon the testimony
<br />of third persons, and not n the clerk'sw •
<br />o n recollection, ales in
<br />a very obvious case of omission or error." However, parol evidence
<br />may be proper in proper proceedings to compel a clerk to amend his
<br />record according to the truth,e and ars amendment based on the
<br />personal knowledge of the members of the body has been sust lned.'Y
<br />Also sustained have been amendments made some years after the
<br />original entry, by the town clerk, on information from others and not
<br />on his own personal owl edge. &
<br />Where litigation has arisen involving rights existing � der the
<br />amendment proposed, application for the amendment should b
<br />made to the court. Those whose rights are not affected b • the
<br />amendment of the record are precluded from complaining of it'10
<br />An amended d record should show when, how, and why the amend -
<br />Ment was made. It is only when this is done that the true record, ars
<br />all the facts connected Fith it which are essential to show its valldi-
<br />t, appear."
