James v. Dexter, 113 Ill. 656. There are no instructions printed in either the abstract or briefs. As was said in the case of Johnson v. Bantock, 38 Ill. p. 114, \u201c We shall not, in future, feel ourselves bound to hear or decide causes on such abstracts, as from them we can derive no possible benefit.\u201d Kelleker v. Tisdale, 23 Ill. 405; Shackleford v. Bailey, 35 Ill. 388. There are many decisions of the. Appellate Courts of like purport. Murray v. Gibson, 21 Ill. App. 488; Fisher v. Ham, 24 Ill. App. 601; Harris v. Rose, 26 Ill. App. 237; Richey v. Dunham, 50 Ill. App. 246. The other errors assigned, so far as we are permitted to consider the same, are not considered well taken. The judgment is affirmed.\nOpinion per Curiam.\nA rehearing has been prayed for in this case on the authority of Gerke v. Fancher, 57 Ill. App. 651.\nIn the Gerke-Fancher case, the bill of exceptions showed, by direct averment, that it contained all of the evidence, and this important statement was omitted from the transcript of the record by reason of the carelessness of the clerk, and without negligence on the part of the appellant\u2019s attorneys.\nIn the case at bar the bill of exceptions did not' show that it contained all of the evidence, and the clerk did not make a mistake in copying it into the transcript. One of appellant\u2019s attorneys assisted in comparing the transcript with the original papers. Another had the transcript in his possession for four days, but \u201c overlooked \u00e1nd failed to note the aforesaid omission.\u201d To grant a reheaving in the face of these facts would amount to an encouragement of carelessness in the preparation of cases for this court.\nAppellant\u2019s counsel are not relieved from the effect of the insufficiency of the record, by the fact that appellee\u2019s counsel did not furnish them with a copy of their brief in conformity with our rules.\nThe petition for a rehearing is denied.",
