¶1Opinion oe the Court by
¶2It seems that the amended answer setting up and pleading the cost of repairs, made upon the premises as a counter claim, was *52by leave of court filed, aud time given appellee to reply, and on that branch of the cause a continuance granted.
¶3Two other amendments were offered and rejected by the court, as the orders show, but whether those found copied in this record are the samé which the court below rejected, this court is not furnished with the means of knowing,, the mere memoranda of the clerk do not authorize this court so to regard them; if appellant desired to have the judgment of this court upon the sufficiency of his amended answer, he could only do so by excepting to the opinion of the cout refusing him permission to file them, and then presenting and filing a bill of exceptions, making said rejected amended answer a part thereof, and thus incorporating them in the record, which is not done here. It is no part of the official duty of the clerk to state the rejected pleadings are the same as that of the copies, and this Court cannot, upon that unofficial statement, so treat them; this principle has often been settled by this court.
¶4As therefore the amended pleadings rejected by the court below are not properly, before this court, the presumption is that the ruling of the- court below was correct. And no error being perceived prejudicial to appellants, the judgment is affirmed.
