at the request of the party executing the same .
A person who sees an instrument executed ,
but is not desired by the parties to attest it ,
is not therefore an attesting witness ,
although he afterwards subscribes it as such .

The general rule is ,
that an attested instrument must be proved by the attesting witness .
But to this rule there are various exceptions ,
namely :
1 .
If he reside out of the jurisdiction of the court ;

From these numerous cases ,
and those to be found in the books ,
it would seem that ,
whenever from any cause the attesting witness cannot be had secondary evidence may be given .
But the inability to procure the witness must be absolute ,
and ,
therefore ,
when be is unable to attend from sickness only ,
his evidence cannot be dispensed with .

When the witness attests an instrument which conveys away ,
or disposes of his property or rights ,

and this must be proved .
