Syllabus

<p>Contracts — Construction—Trover and Coversion. Under a contract whereby C. was to cut a certain quantity of plaintiff’s timber for which he was to be paid a fixed sum, and was allowed to cut other timber for himself at a certain price per thousand feet as stumpage, without any provision as to which should be cut first, it is not a violation of the contract to cut his part first, and a sale thereof by him before cutting the timber for the plaintiffs would not amount to a conversion of their property.</p> <p>Appeal — Record. Error in admitting or excluding evidence cannot be considered in the absence of a bill of exceptions or statement of facts.</p>
