Since errors were assigned, the court below has, upon notice to the attorneys of the plaintiff in error, permitted the sheriff to amend his return by inserting the words \u201c and agent \u201d after the word \u201c receiver,\u201d as shown by a supplemental record filed. The plaintiff in error urges that permission to file such supplemental record should not be granted except upon affidavit of something, citing Von Glahn v. Von Glahn, 40 Ill. 73, and rule nineteen of this court, in neither of which citations do we see anything pertinent to the question.\nIf a further proceeding has been had in the court below, in a case pending here on error, the only primary evidence of such proceeding is the record of that court.\nThe plaintiff in error also objects that the certificate of the clerk of the Superior Court to that supplemental record is insufficient, in that the name of that plaintiff is abbreviated to \u201c Chicago F. G. A. Co.\u201d\nIn the body of the supplemental record, the title of the cause is as in the certificate to the original record, viz., \u201c Sherman S. Jewett et ah,\u201d and \u201c Chicago Fuel Gas Appliance Co.,\u201d except that \u201c company\u201d is written out in full in the body aforesaid, and not in the certificate.\nHow, if in the certificates to records from the lower courts, no abbreviations are permissible, the plaintiff in error is as badly off as the defendants in error, and we can not review the judgment; but if abbreviations are permissible, then the meaning is as unmistakable in one as the other, and in the language of a learned brother, the plaintiff in error may \u201c take either end of the horn of the dilemma.\u201d\nAll other points are answered by World\u2019s Columbian Ex position v. Scala, 55 Ill. App. 207.\nThe judgment is affirmed.",
