• 80 Ill. 32

Syllabus

<p>1. Criminal law—of a single sentence on convictions under several counts. Where a defendant is found guilty, under several different counts of an indictment, for selling liquor without a license, it is error to sentence generally to a single term of imprisonment. He should be sentenced for a specified term under each count, the time under the second to commence when the first ends, and so on to the last.</p> <p>2. Bill of exceptions—should contain excluded, evidence. If a party wishes to rely upon the exclusion of evidence by the court below as ground for reversing the judgment, he should preserve such excluded evidence in the bill of exceptions, and if he fails to do so, the Supreme Court can not pass upon the question.</p> <p>3. Same—when it does not purport to contain all the evidence, other evidence presumed to hume been introduced. Where the hill of exceptions fails to show that it contains all the evidence introduced on the trial, it will he presumed that other evidence was introduced sufficient to authorize the verdict of the jury.</p>
