1Opinion of the Court

Pee. Cukiam.

The typewritten record in this case embraces 174 pages, and there are twenty-three exceptions, all of which have been examined. There is only one exception to the admissibility of evidence, and that relates to the admission of testimony in regard to the previous quarrel on Saturday night between Major Tweed and Arthur Franklin. This was clearly competent to show bad blood between the parties. The remaining exceptions (except those purely formal and those re lating to the service of case on appeal) appertain to the charge of the court, which is set out in full in the record.
