Smith v. Porter.
A judgment will not be reversed for the insufficiency of the evidence, where the record does not profess to contain all that was given.
A motion in arrest of judgment supersedes a motion for a new trial.
ERROR to the Hamilton Circuit Court.

G. H. Voss, for the plaintiff.
W. Garver, for the defendant.

Opinion:
Stuart, J.
Case for slanderous words. Verdict and judgment for the plaintiff.
The record does not purport to contain all the evidence.
Elder v. Robins, 2 Ind. 210.—Montgomery v. Doe d. Pearson, 4 Ind. 266. And even if it did, the party moving for a new trial superseded that motion by a motion in arrest of judgment. Rogers v. Maxwell, 4 Ind. 243.—Bepley v. The State, id. 264.
We see nothing in the record which the latter motion would reach.
Per Curiam. — The judgment is affirmed with costs.
