¶1 (after stating the facts.) The errors assigned relate solely to matters not of record and, therefore, not cognizable in this court, except by a bill of exceptions. Rulings on the admission and exclusion of evidence, exceptions to instructions given the jury, to denial oí a motion for a new trial, and to argument of counsel, cannot be brought before this court under Rule 11, but only by a bill of exceptions duly settled and certified by the trial judge. We cannot, by writ of error, direct the circuit judge to settle a bill of exceptions. Such direction, in a proper case, must be by mandamus. See section 12635, 3 Comp. Laws 1915, for method of reviewing denial of a motion for a new trial. See General Necessities Corp. v. Wayne Circuit Judge, 214 Mich. 135, holding that a motion for a new trial does not suspend the running of the time granted to settle a bill of exceptions.
¶2 The writ 'herein brings nothing to us for decision and is dismissed, with costs to defendant.
