California Supreme Court, 1858

Skillman v. Riley

Skillman v. Riley
California Supreme Court · Decided July 1, 1858 · Field
10 Cal. 300

Skillman v. Riley

Opinion of the Court

Field, J., delivered the opinion of the Court

Terry, C. J., and Baldwin, J., concurring.

The papers embodied in the transcript, purporting to be a statement, are subject to the objection taken in Marlow v. Marsh, (9 Cal., 259.) The draft prepared by the appellant, and the *301amendments proposed by the respondent, and allowed by the Judge who tried the cause, are not incorporated into one document, and in their separate form do not constitute such a statement as we will notice on appeal. This was expressly decided in the case cited, and in People v. Edwards, (9 Cal., 291.) The judgment-roll is, therefore, the only record properly before us, and this does not disclose any error in the action of the Court below.

Judgment affirmed.
