Evans, P. J.

A verdict was directed by the court in favor of the plaintiff. The defendant sued out a bill of exceptions. After the expiration of the time within which service could have been legally perfected, the following acknowledgments of service were endorsed upon the bill of exceptions: “Due and legal service of the within bill of exceptions is hereby acknowledged, and all other .and further service or notice is hereby waived.
