Illinois Central Railroad v. Garish
Illinois Supreme Court · Decided January 15, 1866
40 Ill. 70

Illinois Central Railroad v. Garish

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam :

We cannot amend the transcript of the record, even by the original papers. We have no control over the original papers belonging to the files of the court below, and such papers cannot properly be filed in this court. The proper practice in such case is, to suggest a diminution of the record, supported by affidavit, and ask for a writ of certiorari, so that a correct record may be brought here.
