Section 23 embodies the common law presumption of regularity and, read liberally, presumes due execution where the instrument appears on its face to be duly executed and the surrounding circumstances do not rebut that presumption; s.13(1) does not bar proof of title by cogent secondary evidence; on the facts the statutory declarations and documents sufficed to prove the lost power of attorney and vendor showed good title, so appeal is allowed.
