Syllabus

<p>Appeal- — Record—Statement op Facts- — Exhibits. Certificates, receipts, and exhibits, inserted in the statement of facts, which the trial judge refused to certify, certifying that they were no part of the evidence introduced at the trial, cannot be considered on appeal.</p> <p>Corporations — Actions by — Capacity to Sue — Payment op License Fee. The act prohibiting any corporation from commencing or maintaining any suit or action without alleging and proving that it had paid its annual license fee should be enforced by the courts as a license tax or revenue measure; and hence judgment for defendant on a counterclaim, in an action between two corporations, should be reversed and the action dismissed where neither corporation proved its capacity to sue, although the objection was not specially urged against the corporation in whose favor the judgment was rendered.</p>
