Syllabus

<p>Evidence — Objection to question as leading must be specific.</p> <p>Even if a question, the admission of which is objected to, was leading, no advantage of that can be taken in the appellate court unless it appears by the record that the specific objection was made at the time, so that the examining party might have an opportunity to change the form of his interrogatory.</p> <p>Evidence — Orderly introduction of defendant's case.</p> <p>Where the defendant is called by the plaintiff for cross-examination, it is not error for the trial judge to refuse to permit defendant’s endeavor to introduce his main defense by examination on matters which his examination by plaintiff had not opened up; more especially when the defendant was permitted fully to testify upon the matters in question when the time came for putting in his defense in an orderly manner.</p> <p>Order of testimony — Discretion of court — Review.</p> <p>The order in which evidence is introduced is matter within the discretion of the court below, and is not subject to review by the appellate court.</p> <p>Appeals — Defective assignments — Charge of court.</p> <p>Assignments are defective which challenge parts of the charge of the court, where the record shows neither an exception to the charge, nor a request that the court order the charge to be filed.</p>
