Talmud for Gittin 3:6

הַמֵּבִיא גֵט מִמְּדִינַת הַיָּם וְחָלָה, עוֹשֶׂה בֵית דִּין וּמְשַׁלְּחוֹ, וְאוֹמֵר לִפְנֵיהֶם, בְּפָנַי נִכְתַּב וּבְפָנַי נֶחְתָּם. וְאֵין שָׁלִיחַ אַחֲרוֹן צָרִיךְ שֶׁיֹּאמַר בְּפָנַי נִכְתַּב וּבְפָנַי נֶחְתָּם, אֶלָּא אוֹמֵר, שְׁלִיחַ בֵּית דִּין אָנִי:

If one brought a get from abroad, and he took ill, beth-din appoints [a messenger] and sends him, and he (the first) says before them (beth-din): "Before me, it was written, and before me it was signed." And the last messenger need not say: "Before me, it was written, and before me it was signed," but only: "I am a messenger of beth-din." [And it is taken for granted that beth-din acted in accordance with the law. And the second messenger may appoint a third — until a hundred, and all in beth-din, this being implied by "The last messenger need not say … but only: 'I am a messenger of beth-din.'"]
