¶1This suit was commenced by a writ of attachment on an accepted bill of exchange. From the certificate of the judge and clerk of the inferior court, it appears that all the evidence upon which the case was tried, is not contained in the record. In conformity with the well settled practice of this court, the case cannot he tried on the merits, and the appeal must be dismissed with costs.
