Numerous objections TO the rulings of the Court
below were raised on the trial. and also 10 the ,esti-
uooy received in violence, and no les than twenty
eros are alleged in the notice of appeal az grounds
of reversal But the defendants counsel, the sryu

tons; and as 10 those which the couuse! appear TO
have sbsrdoLed il will sutlice to say that We think
DO error was committed in those particulars which
warrants a reversal OF the judgment
1t is, however, proper th.t we should say
that in our opinion, the justice had No au-
ttoity TO strike out OF the detense9 set up By
