By the Court.

The bill of exceptions does ‍​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‍not show that the presiding judge excluded from his consideration any evidence offered by ‍​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‍the defendant, or ruled on any question of law; but only that, assuming the ‍​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‍truth of the facts offered to be proved, the judge, in the exercise ‍​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‍of his discretion, refused to grant a new trial. Such refusal is clearly not ‍​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‍a matter of ex oeption. Fxcej-tions overruled, with double costs.
