Syllabus

<p>Appeals — Assignments of error — Evidence.</p> <p>Assignments of error to the admission of evidence will not be considered where they contain no reference to the number of the printed page of the testimony; nor where they contain more than one bill of exception; nor where there is embodied in one assignment alleged error by the court in refusing to strike out the testimony of several different witnesses.</p> <p>■ .Water company — Eminent domain — Evidence.</p> <p>In proceeding's to condemn land by a water company, the landowner may show that the property taken by the company was adapted to reservoir purposes from the natural formation of the land, the amount of water flowing over it, and its proximity to certain towns.</p> <p>In estimating the market value of land everything which gives it intrinsic value is to be considered, and it is not to be limited to a particular use.</p> <p>Trial — Charge of court — Instructions.</p> <p>While it is perhaps better for the trial judge not to read to the jury erroneous instructions given by another court to another jury, although the purpose is to show that such instructions had been pronounced erroneous by the Supreme Court, yet such reading can do a party no harm, and is not ground for reversing the judgment.</p>
