It is the same case reported in 24 Ill. App. 468.\nThe only reliance of appellant for 'reversal is upon questions growing out of the evidence, and\u2018admissibility of evidence and questions depending thereon. These supposed errors can not be availed of in this courtf or the reason that there appeal\u2019s to be no bill of exceptions in the case. There appears to be no signature of the judge who tried the cause attached to the portion of the record purporting to be a copy of the bill of exceptions and no seal. All bills of exceptions are required by the statute to be signed and sealed by the judge who tries the cause. This being the case, we must presume the evidence supported the verdict and that the court below acted in all things according to the law.\nThe iudgment is therefore affirmed.\nJudgment affirmed.",
