Davenport v. Ells
Davenport v. Ells
Opinion of the Court
The statement of the clerk, that he has certified “ all of the evidence appearing on file,” does not sufficiently establish that the evidence thus certified was all that was used in the court below.
It is all important that this court should know exactly upon what the cause was heard in the District Court. To this end, we recommend as a proper practice, where a review of the whole cause is sought upon the evidence, that the record entry or a certificate of the judge should specify upon what evidence or whose depositions the cause was heard, and be accompanied with the statement that this was all of the evidence.
Upon the circumstances we order the decree below to stand affirmed, but as it is not improbable that the plaintiff’s cause has merit, this order is without prejudice to a new action, if brought within six months from the close of this term.
Affirmed.
