Syllabus

<p>1. Bmii of Exceptions — Practice.-—'When the record shows no statement of facts from which the materiality of excluded testimony can be determined, and the bill of exceptions based on such, exclusion fails to state enough of the facts established in the case to make intelligible the ruling of the court in reference to the issue made by the pleadings, the exception will be disregarded on appeal.</p> <p>%. Practice. — Papers which neither constitute part of the pleading, state ment of facts, or bill of exceptions, when incorporated in the transcript, will be disregarded.</p> <p>8. Practice. — One who excepts, in the trial of a cause in trespass to try title, to the action of the court in excluding a judgment which, in its proper connection, would be admissible, can derive no benefit on appeal from the exception, when there is nothing in the record to show that he had by evidence connected himself with it.</p>
