Evidence Ordinance

Whenever any book or other document is of such a public nature as to be admissible
            in evidence on its mere production from the proper custody, and no enactment exists
            which renders its contents provable by means of a copy, any copy thereof or extract
            therefrom shall be admissible in evidence in the court, provided it is proved to be an
            examined copy or extract or provided it purports to be signed and certified as a true
            copy or extract by the officer to whose custody the original is entrusted, and which
            officer is hereby required to furnish such certified copy or extract to any person
            applying at a reasonable time for the same, on payment of a reasonable sum for the same,
            not exceeding 50 cents for every folio of 72 words.
