1. ““ ‘Where the bill of exceptions does not purport to contain all the evidence the verdict of the jury will not be questioned. (Ballance v. Leonard, 37 Ill. 43 ; Board of Trustees v. Misenheimer, 89 Ill. 151 ; Village of Bes Plaines v. Winkelman, 270 Ill. 149 .) The certificate of the court reporter that the bill of exceptions contains all the evidence is not sufficient for that purpose (Cogshall v. Beesley, 76 Ill. 445 ; People v. Clark, 298 Ill. 170 ;) but it is sufficient if the fact affirmatively appears from the record itself that the bill of exceptions contains all the evidence. (People v. Henckler, 137 Ill. 580 ; People v. Scanlan, 265 Ill. 609 ; Central Illinois Public Service Co. v. City of Sullivan, 294 Ill. 101 .) Immediately following the testimony in the bill of exceptions in the instant case are the statements, “Defendant rests” and “People rest.” The court reporter then certifies that the bill of exceptions contains all the evidence heard by the court and jury, and the certificate of the trial judge concludes the bill of exceptions. These statements and certificates sufficiently show that the bill of exceptions contains all the evidence upon which the parties relied. ’ ’ ’”
