| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Notoriety |
 | | When a fact is admitted as <b>notoriousb> by the judge, and in general by a competent authority, no proof of it is required, but it is often necessary to show that it is <b>notoriousb>, as the judge is not expected to know every <b>notoriousb> fact. |
 | | Notoriety is the quality or the state of things that are <b>notoriousb>; whatever is so fully or officially proved, that it may and ought to be held as certain without further investigation, is <b>notoriousb>. |
 | | Whatever has been judicially ascertained, viz., judicial admissions, an affair fully proved, and the judgment rendered in a lawsuit, is <b>notoriousb> in law; the judge accepts the fact as certain without investigation; nor will he allow, except in certain well-specified cases, the matter to be called in question. |
