Syllabus

<p>Appellate Practice; Record; Incorporation of Documents by Reference.</p> <p>1. That the answer to a bill in equity refers to a bill and the exhibits thereto previously filed by the defendant against the complainant, and prays that they may be taken as parts of the answer, will not suffice to incorporate the papers in question into the record so as to entitle them to consideration by this court.</p> <p>2. Where such papers are not made exhibits to the answer nor otherwise incorporated into it, but are included by the clerk of the court below in the transcript at the direction of the appellant, a motion by the appellee to expunge them from the record will be allowed; and the correction will be made in this court.</p>
