Pipe Una terrl-1 protested against the recent holding of the supreme court regarding the absolute necessity of having bills of exceptions properly certified to before they can be brought up for review. In thla particular case the court held that "A pretended bill of eacoptlone -containing the evidence before the Board of County Comlsslener at the hearing waa filed -with the petition In error, but this bill of exceptions does not purport to contain all the evidence offered or given at the hearing of aucb proceeding nor doea It appear to be elgned. settled and allowed by the pre aiding officer of the Board of County Com missioners. The hill could not and should not have been considered by the learned trial Judge In determining whether or not tbe evidence Introduced at the hearing was sufficient to .upport Ita findings." The failure of the person drawing up the record to have it properly certified was the basis of the decision, and now tbe attorney, for the bank seek a re. consideration. They contend the omission waa not suggested by any authorlted at torney in the case and therefore should h.v Kan nassed UDon by the court. The Pacific Express company, through, Its attorney, makes a vigorous repirvio the argument and petition of Thomas K. Sudborough, wno is smug foi ums fr false Imprisonment. This case arose from tbe arrest of Sudborough on the charge of embexxlement of the eompany'a funda. . He was acquitted and aoon afterward began the suit for damagea. In tbe lower court a Judgment waa given fendant company. It la contended that the findings and Judgment of the lower county court were conclusive evidence of probable cause and that for this reason, as well as for others preaented. the Judg ment -of-the trial court should be affirmed.
