Syllabus

<p>Trial — Examination of witness — Gross-examination — Offer — Papers.</p> <p>The appellate court will not reverse a judgment on a verdict, because the trial judge sustained an objection to a question asked the plaintiff on cross-examination, where no offer was made which would indicate whether or not the question asked was material, and it is impossible for the appellate court to determine upon an inspection of tbe assignment alone that any harmful error was committed.</p> <p>Where a witness who did certain work for the defendant, alleged to have been necessary through the default of the plaintiff, is permitted to refer to the bills which he rendered to the defendant and which were paid by the latter, the defendant cannot claim that there was reversible error in rejecting the bills themselves on the ground that they had not been properly proven as substantive evidence against the plaintiff.</p>
