Syllabus

<p>1. Practice—giving time for bill of exceptions or certificate of evidence. A court before whom an action at law or a suit in chancery lias been tried, may give time to prepare a bill of exceptions or certificate of evidence, and the same may be signed and filed afterwards, in apt time, even after the decree has been entered.</p> <p>3. Certificate of evidence—presumption as to time of signing. Where a certificate of evidence does not show when it was signed, it will be presumed that it was presented and signed at the right time, or the judge would not have signed it, and the mere fact that it was not filed until a later day, does not rebut that presumption.</p> <p>3. Practice in Supreme Court—supplemental record,. When a supplemental record is filed in this court it becomes a part of the record in the case, and will be considered as such.</p> <p>4. Costs—on affirmance upon supplemental record. Where a defendant in error has neglected to have a certificate of evidence in a chancery suit filed until after a writ of error is sued out, and afterwards files the same, and brings it to this court by a supplemental record, upon which the decree is affirmed, judgment for all the costs will be entered against him.</p>
