1. The respondents object that the return is insufficient to enable the court to review the order appealed from, in that it does not contain or show of what the other evidence offered by either of the parties consisted; and we are of the opinion that the objection is well taken. As was said in Bowen v. Malbon, 20 Wis. 491" court="Wis." date_filed="1866-01-15" href="https://app.midpage.ai/document/bowen-v-malbon-6599561?utm_source=webapp" opinion_id="6599561">20 Wis. 491: “We must assume *15that the matters contained in such minutes amply justified the order granted.” The rule is well settled that error will not be presumed, but must be made to appear affirmatively. This defect is necessarily fatal to the appeal. Bunn v. Valley L. Co. 63 Wis. 630" court="Wis." date_filed="1885-09-22" href="https://app.midpage.ai/document/bunn-v-valley-lumber-co-6604802?utm_source=webapp" opinion_id="6604802">63 Wis. 630, 632.
2. It is proper to Observe that the certificate to the return is radically defective in an important requirement. The statute (R. S. sec. 3050) provides that, “ if the appeal is from an order, he [the clerk] shall transmit the order appealed from and the original papers used by each party on the application |or the order appealed from,” and that the court may direct copies to be sent in lieu of the originals. The statute requires the clerk to “ annex to the papers so transmitted a certificate under his hand and the seal of the court from which the appeal is taken, certifying that they are the original papers or copies, as the case may be, and that they are transmitted to the supreme court pursuant to such appeal.” In Carpenter v. Shepardson, 43 Wis. 406" court="Wis." date_filed="1877-08-15" href="https://app.midpage.ai/document/carpenter-v-shepardson-6602441?utm_source=webapp" opinion_id="6602441">43 Wis. 406, 409, it was pointed out that under the statute the clerk “ should certify that the papers returned on the appeal are the originals used on the hearmg of the motion, or copies thereof if copies are ordered to be' returned,” and that “ this is indispensable, unless it appears from the record itself what papers were so used.” There is nothing in the certificate to show what papers were used on the hearing, and the order is the only paper embraced in the return that contains any information on this point; but that is defective, as we have seen, as to the “ other evidence.” Sec. 6, Rule XI, of the circuit court rules, provides that “ all orders of the court or a judge, whether granted ex parte, by default or otherwise, shall briefly refer to all the records, petitions, affidavits, and other papers read or used by either party upon the application for the order; ” and, if complied with, the order will show, for the purposes of an appeal, as the rule obviously intended it should, what papers were read or used upon the application for the order. *16After the full and explicit exposition of the practice in such cases, and in view of the rule, there is no reason why the law should not be complied with, and uncertainty and embarrassment avoided.
For want of a sufficient return, the appeal must be dismissed.
By the Court.— The defendant’s appeal is dismissed.
