Smith v. Porter.
    A judgment will not be reversed for the insufficiency of the evidence, where the record does not profess to contain all that was given.
    A motion in arrest of judgment supersedes a motion for a new trial.
    ERROR to the Hamilton Circuit Court.
    
      Monday, December 4.
    
    
      G. H. Voss, for the plaintiff.
    
      W. Garver, for the defendant.
   Stuart, J.

Case for slanderous words. Verdict and judgment for the plaintiff.

The record does not purport to contain all the evidence.

Elder v. Robins, 2 Ind. 210.—Montgomery v. Doe d. Pearson, 4 Ind. 266. And even if it did, the party moving for a new trial superseded that motion by a motion in arrest of judgment. Rogers v. Maxwell, 4 Ind. 243.—Bepley v. The State, id. 264.

We see nothing in the record which the latter motion would reach.

Per Curiam. — The judgment is affirmed with costs.
