1Opinion of the Court
By the Court.
McDonald, J.
delivering the opinion.
The bill of exceptions alleges that there was error in all and each of the rulings of the Court therein complained of, and on looking it through, we do not find a single ruling complained of, so that if the bill of exceptions amounts to any thing, it is to a general assignment of errors on all the rulings of the Court. This is not the law and the Court must require that the error complained of, in any decision or judgment, be specified and plainly and distinctly set forth. 4th sect. of act organizing Sup. Ct., Acts of 1855-6; 14 Geo. 415.
