Syllabus

<p>1. Amendment—of deelm-ation after verdict. Under the practice act of 1874, the court may allow the plaintiff, after verdict against two defendants, to amend his declaration by discontinuing the suit as to one of the defendants.</p> <p>2. Bill op exceptions—must show that it contains all the evidence. Where a bill of exceptions fails to show that it contains all the evidence, this court will not examine whether the evidence it does contain supports the verdict. The certificate of the reporter who reported the evidence, at the foot of the testimony, that it contains all the evidence, will not answer. The judge who tried the case must so certify.</p>
