Marsh & Co. v. Barnes & Tilghman.
    Appeal dismissed; the certificate of the clerk not stating that the record contained oil the evidence adduced on the trial. — 7 L. 437; 14 L. 2G5.
    Appeal from the commercial court of New Orleans.
    This is an action against the defendants as makers of a note. There was judgment against them (Barnes & Tilghman) in solido. Barnes appealed, considering himself only liable for one half of the debt; it being for a particular partnership.
    The certificate of the clerk states the “transcript contains all the proceedings, as well as documents filed in the cause,” but does not say it contains all the evidence adduced, <&c.
    
      Oollens, for the appellant,
    insisted that the defendant Barnes, was only [28] liable for one half the plaintiffs’ demand (if any), because it was only a particular partnership the defendant was concerned in.
   Moephy, J.

delivered the opinion of the court.

Barnes, one of the defendants, is appellant from a judgment against both as the makers of a promissory note.

The certificate of the clerk attests that the transcript contains-all the proceedings had, and all the documents filed in the case, but it does not inform us that it contains all the evidence adduced on the trial. We are, therefore, unable to examine the case on its merits, and the appeal must consequently be dismissed with costs in both courts.
