        "text": "Mr. Presiding Justice Shepard\ndelivered the opinion oe the Court.\nUpon appeal from a justice\u2019s judgment to the Circuit Court the appellant was subjected to a verdict and judgment for $75 for rent for the month of July, 1890, under what we conjecture were the terms of a lease referred to by witnesses, and which was, by name at least, offered in evidence by the appellee, and the signatures thereto identified as being those of the appellant and appellee respectively.\nThe principal error that is argued by appellant is the refusal by the court to admit in evidence what is spoken of as \u201cthe old lease,\u201d which,it is said,is the one referred to in the following language read by appellant\u2019s counsel from something spoken of as the lease offered in evidence by the appellee:\n\u201c This lease is given for the express purpose of, and no other, of carrying out the terms of a certain lease, executed between one Eobert Excell, and one Peter Foy, dated January 25, 1892; assigned by Foy to lessee herein, and by Excell to lessor herein, and is intended to invest said lessee with all the rights acquired by such assignment and attornment to lessor thereunder, and no other rights, and to that end shall be construed.\u201d\nThe abstract refers to four exhibits, called respectively \u201c lease,\u201d \u201c old lease,\u201d \u201c plat,\u201d and \u201c a letter dated January 4, 1896, received from David Eosenheim, the signature to which is admitted by said Eosenheim,\u201d but no contents of either exhibit is shown, unless the foregoing quotation be considered as a part of the \u201c lease.\u201d\nIt is not claimed that the old lease was competent evidence of anything unless it were made so by the paragraph quoted, that was read by appellant\u2019s counsel at the trial. If such paragraph were a part of a lease under which appellee claimed to hold appellant for rent, the lease containing it, as well as the old lease there referred to, should, in order that we might intelligently pass upon the question, be shown to us in the manner required by the rules of the court concerning abstracts.\nThe appellant, in its brief, complaining that the old lease was not admitted in evidence, has furnished us with an apt inquiry descriptive of the condition in which the court is left by the failure to furnish a sufficient abstract.\n\u201c How are we to know if the lessee is invested with all the rights acquired by such assignment and attornment\u2019 unless we have the old lease, showing what those rights were ? \u201d\nThe rule concerning the preparation of abstracts of the record in causes appealed to the Supreme Court, and to this court, is a living one, and has been so often applied that now to decline its enforcement would be to lay ourselves open to the charge of partiality. It is, that alleged errors, not based on anything appearing in the abstract, will not be considered by the court. See Shively v. Hettinger, 67 Ill. App. 278, from which former decisions may be traced.\nThe Circuit Court having ruled adversely to appellant\u2019s contention on the question', we must presume such ruling to be correct under the law until the contrary is made to appear to us, which not so appearing, the alleged error must be held not to be well assigned.\nThe other points argued by appellant hang upon the one question mentioned, and must, therefore, fall with it.\nThe judgment of the Circuit Court is affirmed.",
