[The bill of exceptions tendered to the judge recited transactions and litigation, covering a number of years, much of which was prior to the term of the judge then presiding, though the final order excepted to was made by him. On the return of the answer of the judge, the relator moved to be allowed to traverse it, but this was refused.]
