By the Court.

These exceptions are groundless and frivolous. Whenever evidence of the condition of clothes or other articles of personal property is competent and material, their condition may be described by witnesses, without producing the articles themselves. The correspondence between boots and footprints is a matter requiring no peculiar knowledge to judge of, and as to which any person who has seen both may testify.

Exceptions overruled.
