¶33. Code § 6-810, providing for the certification of material evidence omitted from the transcript of the record, has no application to the facts of the present case, and this court is without jurisdiction to consider the main bill of exceptions. This ruling terminates the case, and the cross-bills of exceptions are therefore dismissed.
