    Masland vs. Kemp et al.
    
    A bill of exceptions, in order to be properly before this court, must be certified to be true. Where this is not done, but the presiding judge certifies that the bill of exceptions, “ as corrected by notes attached and signed by me, is true,” etc., and after the certificate attaches a paper signed by him, containing several notes materially altering the statements contained in such bill of exceptions, the writ of error will be dismissed.

    Practice in Supreme Court.
   A motion to dismiss the writ of error in this case was made on two grounds: (1) Because certain deeds introduced in evidence were not copied in the bill of exceptions (the court below having granted an order dismissing the motion at the close of the complainant’s evidence, in the nature of the grant of a nonsuit at law), but were set out in an abbreviated form. (2) Because the presiding judge did not certify the bill of exceptions to be trye, except as corrected by notes attached to the certificate and signed by him. The court ruled as set out in the head-note.
