Williams v. First Farmers & Merchants Nat. Bank
Supreme Court of Alabama
1Opinion of the Court
BOULDIN, Justice.
An affirmative instruction to find for the plaintiff is a charge upon the effect of the evidence.
Error cannot, be presumed on appeal. It must affirmatively appear from the record.
It follows, this court cannot review the giving of the affirmative charge upon request in writing, unless the record on appeal affirmatively shows all the evidence considered by the trial court is presented to this court.
The present record does not purport to set out all the evidence in substance or effect.'
The ruling complained of is, therefore, not subj ect to review. Fleming v. Ussery, 30 Ala.…
