The bill was filed in June, and the pleadings closed in December 1828, so that we have
no judicial knowledge of any matters which have arisen since; confining itself, as the court must do, to the pleadings of the cause, and the decree of the court below, we can notice nothing not averred in the bill or answer, nor act on any evidence which does not relate to them.
Laviolette, [1996] S.J. No. 378: 10 Not only may a court take notice
of what is common
knowledge in the community, it may also take
judicial notice
of a fact or
matter that may be readily determined by reference to an indisputable source.
