Syllabus

<p>1. Amendment oe record in circuit court—effect of, on appeal pending in Supreme Court. Where the record filed in the Supreme Court shows a defective service on the defendant in the circuit court, and the sheriff, by leave of the circuit court, whilst the case is pending ' in the Supreme Court, amends his return so as to show a sufficient service, and that fact is made to appear by a supplemental record, filed in the Supreme Court, the error assigned on account of such defective service is obviated.</p> <p>3. Record—a certificate of the clerk copied, into the transcript is no part of the record. A certificate of the clerk of a computation of damages made by him, and reciting that the court had referred the cause to him to assess the damages, although copied into the transcript, is not an order of the court, nor does it prove one, nor is it a part of the record.</p>
