• 90 Ill. 184

Syllabus

<p>Error—can be assigned only upon matters in the record. Where a decree is reversed for an error as to the proper measure of damages, and the cause remanded, it can not be assigned for error that the court below refused to allow additional evidence before rendering its decree, unless such proposed evidence is preserved in the record. A party alleging error must show its existence, not by inference simply, but by facts in a matter materially preju- ' dicing his rights.</p>
