To which defendant then and there duly excepted.\u201d\nThen the appellee holds up what we said in Wabash R. R. v. Smith, 58 Ill. App. 419, that \u201c the abstract must, as against the appellant, be deemed sufficiently full and accurate to present all the errors upon which \u201d the appellant relies.\nIf we enforce our rules in one case we must in all; otherwise we do not administer the law impartially. It is quite possible that if we turned to the record we might find that the appellant did in fact make a motion for a new trial, a fact, if it be one, which the abstract omits to state. Reciting that \u201c when the defendant by his counsel entered the motion for a new trial\u201d is no allegation that such a motion was made.\nSince the appellee filed his brief, a week\u2014at this present writing\u2014has elapsed, and the appellant has not asked to amend or add to his abstract \u201c To which\u201d\u2014to what ? Flaningham v. Hogue, 59 Ill. 315.\nThe judgment is affirmed.\nSince the foregoing was written, six days have passed, and the only attention the appellant has given the case is that April 9th he filed a couple of pages of typewriting containing a quotation, as from the opinion of the Supreme Court in Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Ry. v. Walsh, 150 Ill. 607, of language not there; and impressively stating that it \u201c becomes the duty of this court to examine the entire record and determine whether as a matter of law arising from the facts, the judgment was a proper one; \u201d by which it would seem that this court, and the Appellate Courts of the other districts, and the Supreme Court, have evaded their duty in declining to go to records for matters not shown by abstracts, and they ought to be ashamed of themselves.", "type": "majority", "author": "Mr. Presiding Justice Gary" }, { "text": "Mr. Presiding Justice Gary\non petition eoe beheabing.\nThis petition is for the purpose of bringing the case before us by a better record and abstract; citing Supreme Lodge K. of H. v.

Sherburne, attorney for appellee,\ncontended that the appellant has not saved exceptions to the acts or rulings assigned for error. To be sure, there are numerous ejaculatory objections, and exceptions which appear in the record and abstract, in the following form:\n\u201c Objection; overruled; exception.\u201d \u201c Who objected; to what ? Who excepted; to what ? does not appear. This is not sufficient to raise any question in this court. Arcade Co. v. Allen, 51 Ill. App. 305; Rogers v.
