Syllabus

<p>Trial (20)—Reception op Evidencie—Opper op Proop. Defendant’s statement as to what he intended to do with a rented house after his tenant moved out is not inconsistent with the fact that the house was rented for a year, and hence an offer to prove the same to corroborate his denial of such statement is properly overruled.</p> <p>Appeal (457)—Review—Harmless Error—Exclusion op Evidence. In an action for breach of promise, in which plaintiff testified that the marriage was to take place after trial of a certain cause in September, it is harmless error to exclude, in denial, evidence that such cause was not then in issue, where it was not shown that plaintiff did not know the cause was not at issue.</p> <p>Appeal (123)—Preservation op Grounds—Admission op Evidence. Error cannot be predicated upon sustaining an objection to a question put to party’s own witness which did not indicate the evidence to be elicited, in the absence of an offer of what was expected to be proved.</p>
