It has appellate jurisdiction only; it has no power to render judgment upon what may be a real, but is presented merely as a state of facts agreed to by the parties; it reviews not the arguments or acts of individuals or litigants, as such, but is vested with authority and sits only to review the judgments and orders of courts of record.\nWe are here, not, in the first instance, to say what the agreements, rights or obligations of parties are, but whether the court below correctly held in respect to such matters.\nAs a consequence there must always be presented, to give this court jurisdiction, the record upon which the court below kcted, and it is not sufficient for the parties to agree what the record below was or what the record for this court shall be.\nThe views, here expressed, have been recently set forth in the case of Mosher v. Scofield, Ill. App., opinion filed December 20, 1894.\nTo that case and to Harding v. Brophy, 138 Ill. 39-44; Moore v. Bolin, 5 Ill. App. 556; Plumleigh v. White, 4 Gilm. 387; Corwell v. Keene, 17 Ill. 246; Schwarze v. Speigel, 41 Ill. App. 351; Stock Quotation Co. v. Chicago Board of Trade, 144 Ill. 370; Moore v. The People, 148 Ill. 48; Harris v. The People, 148 Ill. 96; East St. Louis Electric Ry. Co. v. Stout, 150 Ill. 9; and Elliott on Appellate Procedure, Secs. 186 and 187, we call the attention of the parties to this cause, and all others who may desire to, by stipulation, make a record for this court to act upon.\nThe judgment of the Superior Court is affirmed.",
