A witness in any cause may be questioned as to whether the witness has been convicted of any offence and, upon being so questioned, if the witness either denies the fact, or refuses to answer, the opposite party may prove such conviction; and a certificate containing the substance and effect only (omitting the formal part) of the indictment or charge and conviction for such offence, purporting to be signed by the Clerk of the Court, or other officer having custody of the records of the Court where the offender was convicted is, upon proof of the identity of the person, sufficient evidence of the said conviction.
