Error to Lenawee Circuit. A bill of exceptions had been settled in the cause, but afterwards it was stipulated by the parties that a portion of tbe charge of the Court, not embraced in tbe bill as settled, should be considered as constituting a part of the bill for the purposes of the argument in this Court.
1Opinion of the Court
But the Court held, that the bill of exceptions could not he thus altered by consent of the parties, without the knowledge and consent of the Judge who tried the cause. Nothing can be considered as a part of the bill of exceptions except what is actually incorporated therein, and settled by the Judge himself.
