FACTS: Respondents, have appealed from an order of the CFI of Manila fixing the
degree of preference of the claimants and distributing the proceeds. Manila Motor
claims that the lower court erred in not holding their claims. In support of its claim of
preference against the fund of Lilius was a certified copy of its judgment against him in
Civil Case No. 41159 together with a certified copy of the writ of execution and the
garnishment issued by virtue of said judgment. The alleged public document evidencing
its claim was not offered in evidence but, in their brief in this court, counsel for the
Manila Motor, merely assume that its credit is evidenced by a public document because
the court, in its judgment in said civil case, refers to a mortgage appearing in the
evidence, as the basis of its judgment.
