Ballance v. Leonard

Ballance v. Leonard
Illinois Supreme Court · Decided April 15, 1865
40 Ill. 72

Ballance v. Leonard

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam :

This court can only hear a cause as it appears in the record; we have no power to make a new record. If there is any portion of the proceedings in the court below which has been omitted from the record, it can only be supplied upon application to that court for the purpose. We can merely award a writ of certiorari to enable the party to bring a transcript of the record, when amended, to this court.

Leave denied.
