Syllabus

<p>1. Practice—Objections to depositions.—To enable this court to revise the action of the District Court in overruling objections to depositions which were read in evidence, it is necessary that the bill of exceptions contain the deposition or certificate objected to and the grounds of objection urged.</p> <p>2. Practice—Bills of exceptions.—When objections are taken to the ruling of the District Court, which do not ordinarily form part of the record, exceptions must be taken and presented by bill of exceptions, or by the statement of facts, and all the facts and circumstances pertinent to the exceptions and necessary to enable this court to understand tire questions decided by the District Court must also be set forth or shown by the record.</p> <p>3. Charge of court.—It is not error in the District Court to refuse a verbal charge asked, though otherwise unexceptionable.</p> <p>4. Verdict.—Resort may be had to the pleadings to determine, the date from which interest found in the verdict for plaintiff shall be computed. When such fact can be so ascertained a verdict for a sum certain and interest is not void for uncertainty.</p>
