• 56 Ill. 304

Syllabus

<p>1. Placita—necessity thereof. Where the record in the court below, as shown by the transcript filed in this court, contains no placita or convening order of the court, such defect is ground for reversal.</p> <p>2. Same—whether aided by bill of exceptions. Nor could the defect he aided by the bill of exceptions. A bill of exceptions is really and practically no part of the record till after judgment, and it would be a perversion of its uses to make it aid the defects of the judgment record.</p> <p>3. Bill of exceptions should be sealed by the judge who tried the cause.</p>
