Syllabus

<p>Where the plaintiff had sued in trespass to try title, and the defendant plead in reconvention title in himself, and the plaintiff declined to prosecute his suit, and the defendant proved his title, and there was no statement of facts, the court will not consider whether or not there was error in excluding papers which did not in themselves constitute a muniment of title.</p> <p>It is not the duty of the court to inquire into the correctness'of the ruling excluding evidence, unless the bill of exceptions shows that the evidence was material, and for that purpose the evidence ought to be set out in the bill of exceptions. (Paschal’s Dig., Art. 217, Note 280.)</p>
