Syllabus

<p>1. Ceiminai, Law. Appeal. Questions not raised on trial.</p> <p>When an objection is made to evidence which in its nature is such as may be obviated, it must be specific, so as to allow the party offering an opportunity to supply its place if the objection is sustained, and where this is not done, it will not be noticed in the appellate court.</p> <p>2. Same.</p> <p>Where only a general objection to the introduction of a city ordinance was made at the trial, accused cannot, for the first time in the appellate court, claim that the ordinance was not proven in the proper manner, in that it should have been proven, either by a certified copy, or the book containing it should have been identified by the city clerk, its legal custodian.</p>
