English translation: documents of public record ( ) heard

Spanish term or phrase: practicadas dos pruebas documentales públicas
Hi,

I realize that "pruebas documentales" are "documentary evidence" but I can't quite seem to work this into the context given. Here is the full context:

"En el escrito de alegaciones presentado se incorporan una serie de documentos anexos numerados X a X y se proponen que sean admitidas y *practicadas dos pruebas documentales públicas", a todo ello el Instructor nombrado realiza las siguentes puntualizaciones"
Should "dos" in fact be "las"?

Is there anyone who could help me get my head around this please?
thanks

Explanation:
Help for your brainstorm:

se proponen que sean admitidas y *practicadas dos pruebas documentales públicas" = it is proposed that two items of evidence consisting of documents of public record be admitted and heard

Maybe "heard" is it.

Plus I don't see anyone else making any sense at all with the rest of it, so I thought I could do better.

Thanks Henry, I think you understood that I wasn't questioning the fact that it was possible to say this in Spanish, I needed a neat way to phrase this. I finally put almost exactly what you said except I used "the documentary evidence be admitted and examined". But you put me on the right track so thank you!

conceded/granted and carried out two (additional?) public documentary evidences


Explanation:
I agree with Sagitario on the fact these two documents haven't been obtained yet. He's asking the judge or arbiter to order having them carried out.

Hope this helps.
