Syllabus

<p>Discovery — Interrogatories—Answers—Sufficiency. ' It is not error to deny an application for specific answers to each of 160 interrogatories, where those relating to a single matter were grouped and fully answered by one answer and the defendant was sufficiently informed to prepare its defense.</p> <p>Trial — Reception of Evidence — Objections — Waiver. Where upon objection to testimony, offer of other proof is made, and the objection is modified in such a way as to lead the court and counsel to believe that the first objection is waived, it cannot be urged as error, although no waiver was intended.</p> <p>Evidence — Documentary—Copies. A certified copy of a recorded instrument is admissible in evidence as an admission.</p> <p>Master and Servant — Employment—Action for Wages — Evidence — Admissibility.
