George E. Luce, Appellee, v. E. P. Armstrong, Appellant.
    (Not to be reported in full.)
    Appeal from the Circuit Court of McLean county; the Hon. Colostin D. Myebs, Judge, presiding. Heard in this court at the April term, 1914.
    Affirmed.
    Opinion filed July 2, 1914.
    
      Abstract of the Decision.
    1. Appeal and ebkob, § 990
      
      —when ruling on motion not presented for review. A ruling on a motion to suppress depositions is not presented for review, where the bill does not contain any such motion or exception to the ruling thereon; that the motion and ruling thereon are in the record and the clerk has written an exception to the ruling does not save the question for review.
    2. Appeal and ebbor, § 788*—necessity of hill of exceptions. A bill of exceptions is necessary to present for review rulings on motions and anything outside of the proper common-law record.
    3. Sales, § 65*—contract construed as to place of weighing and grading. Where a buyer made a proposition under which hay was sold to him to pay a certain price per ton for timothy “your track,” held that the hay when placed on the cars at the place of shipment was delivered .to the buyer there, and any difference between the weight of the hay at the place of shipment and destination was at the risk of the buyer and that he could not insist that he bought the hay to be weighed and graded according to custom at destination.
    4. Sales, § 330*—when instruction not misleading. In an action for the price of a shipment of hay, where the proposition of defendant under which the hay was sold to him was to pay a certain sum per ton for timothy “your track,” the giving of an instruction omitting the word “timothy” in describing the hay, and using the letters “F.O.B.” instead of the words “your track,” held not misleading.
