Per Curiam.

¶1The record in this case presents no question for this Court. It appears by a bill of exceptions that on the trial in the Circuit Court, certain evidence was offered, which was objected to, but the ground of objection was not pointed out, nor was any exception taken at the time, to the ruling of the Court.

¶2Various instructions were given and refused, and at the end of the bill of exceptions, taken after the return of the verdict, is the following statement: “ To all of which judgments and rulings, &c., the defendant objects and excepts,” &c.
