¶1The judgment below in this cause was rendered at the Spring term of the circuit court in’ 1873; and the appeal from it to this court was taken to the June term of this court of the same year, 1873.
¶2The bill of exceptions was not signed by the circuit judge, though it was agreed that he might sign in vacation, tbe writing found in the record pui-porting to be such. But not having done so, the counsel of the parties agreed in writing that the intended bill of exceptions might be considered as signed by the judge and treated in this court as duly completed ; and thereupon it was sent up as a part of .the record, and treated by the counsel on botlp sides as such, and errors were assigned upon it, and a joinder in error entered.
¶3At June term, 1874, this court affirmed the judgment below, on the ground that the writing considered as a bill of exceptions was not, and could not be made such by agreement of parties, and that the record proper of the cause showed no error.
¶4Application was afterwards made by appellant’s counsel to have the# judgment of this court set aside, the submission of the cause vacated, and the cause reinstated on the docket, and continued for the amendment of the record below, so as to put the parties in a situation for a hearing upon the merits.
¶5. The condition of the record was well known to counsel on *8both sides, and they have chosen to take the judgment of the court upon it as it stood. The reasons shown for the application to set aside the judgment would hardly be sufficient for the granting of a continuance if the cause were now on the docket; much less will they justify the setting aside of the judgment of.affirmance and continuance of the cause, and a certiorari when the proposed amendment should be hereafter made, if it should be made at all.
¶6The motion is overruled.
