Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS (BY THE COURT.)</p> <p>1. The record in this case, (especially when aided by our statute as to amendments of the record in formal matters even after appeal) sufficiently shows the injuries alleged to have occurred in the First Judicial District.</p> <p>2. Judicial notice is taken of thp counties composing a Judicial District and of the county in which known railroad stations or points on a railroad line at known distances from such stations are located.</p> <p>3. The federal employer’s liability act of June 11, 1906, is valid as to the Territory of New Mexico (following El Paso & N. E. Railway 'Company v. Gutierrez, U. 43. 'Sup. Court, decided November 15, 1909.)</p> <p>4. This court will not review instructions not excepted to in the trial court.</p> <p>5. Assignments of error on the admissibility of testimony must, to be cognizable by this court, point out specifically the testimony deemed objectionable.</p> <p>6. Under the rule of practice just stated an assignment alleging error in the reception of the testimony, upon a given point, of some seven witnesses, whose testimony upon that point went in under,different circumstances and against varying objections, is too general to be entertained and is contrary to rule 14 of this court requiring each error to be stated in a separate paragraph.</p>
