same machine may be asked, Are there any bruises or scars on your lege?' and he may state in reply, There Is a little place on my leg; that 1t was the end of the belt that struck me, and I do not think any of the rivets hit me; that when the belt

 9. Same; wages received by other operatives in mill immaterial.--In such case. 1t is improper to allow a wit ness employed in a different capacity from the plaintiff to state what wages he received in the same plaining mill. or to state the scale of wages received there by the various employees. If such evidence is sought on the ground that the plaintiff. if not injured. might have been promoted to some higher po- sition, 1t is purely speculative and fur nishes no basis for the admeasurement Of damages.

Assignments of error; when will not be considered.-Where an assign ment of error sets out the substance of charge as appearing on a certain page of the transcript and no such charge appears on that page, the fact that a charge which was intended to be reviewed. but which IS not in sub- stance the one specified in the assign ment, appears on another page of the transcript, will not authorize the con- sideration of such assignment of error.
