¶1On Rehearing*.

¶2Evidence which is admissible under the pleadings can not serve to enlarge them, even though .received without objections.

ST. PAUL, J.

¶3We perceive no error in the decree *295(heretofore ‘handed down. It is suggested that the evidence admitted without objection which served to enlarge the pleadings go as to admit of lam estoppel. This we cannot concede; the evidence was admissible under the pleadings for ether purposes, viz;.to impeach the testimony of witnesses and to negative the foot of ownership. It could not therefore have been objected to, and hence cannot serve to enlarge the pleadings.
