Opinion:
Mr. Presiding Justice Chytraus
delivered the opinion of the court.
Defendant in error presents his motion that the writing called a hill of exceptions, part of the transcript of the record filed in this case, be stricken from the record. This is a fourth class case. The ground upon which the motion is based is that the certification by the trial judge is not within either of the two classes of certifications provided for by part six, section 23 of the Municipal Court Act. Reliance is placed upon Seehausen, Wehr So Co. v. Interstate Steel and Iron Co., 150 Ill. App. 179. A careful reading of the statute above referred to would probably have resulted in a better form of certificate. We, however, are of the opinion that as it is shown by the certification of the trial judge, at the commencement of the bill of exceptions, that "on the trial of this cause the following proceedings were had," and later therein that the statement in question here contains all the evidence, there fore this case does not come within the rule laid down in the Seehausen case. The motion to strike will therefore be denied.
Motion denied.
