How should a record be formulated if the claimant has written documents bearing the witness signatures?
General Chapter

Book of Judiciary
Primary text
If the claimant possesses a document with the witnesses' signatures, the judge writes beneath or next to each signature: 'He testified before me to that.' The judge writes his own mark (signet) at the head of the record. If the judge suffices with this documentation without writing a full record, it is permissible.
