Filippo Ganguzza, Plaintiff in Error, v. Marshall E. Sampsell, Receiver, Defendant in Error.
Gen. No. 18,806.
(Not to be reported in full.)
Abstract of the Decision.
1. Appeal and error, § 1017 * —when bill of exceptions must contain all the evidence. Error in giving an instruction claimed not to have been supported by the evidence will not be considered where the hill of exceptions does not give all the evidence, or a complete synopsis thereof in narrative form.
2. Instructions, § 151 * —when embodied in instruction given. Plaintiff’s instruction as to effect of the number of witnesses on either side may he refused where it is fully covered by defendant’s instruction.
3. Trial, § 128 * —when testimony is not misread to jury. A charge that counsel misstated to the jury the testimony of a witness *35in a street railroad accident case by adding the words “at Ohio street” to an answer is not sustained, where counsel insisted he was reading from his own notes, there was no showing he was reading from a stenographic report of the evidence, and as a fair inference the street was referred to in the question and the jury were instructed not to decide the case upon statements of counsel outside of the evidence.
