By the Court,
Upon the oral argument in this case, on motion of respondent, the minutes of the district court, affidavit for continuance, bill of exceptions with the exhibits attached thereto, and all other matters not embraced in the so-called statement on appeal, judgment-roll, or authenticated as by law required, were stricken from the transcript on appeal.
The minutes of the court, affidavit for continuance, and some other matters, were stricken out because they were not embodied in the statement on appeal.
The minutes of the court, having been stricken out, can not be considered, and there is nothing left in the record to show that the bill of exceptions was filed within the time required by law.
A motion was also made to strike out the statement on appeal. This motion ought, perhaps, also to prevail.

If the certificate applies to all matters included in the transcript, which are contained in the so-called statement, still the other objection exists that it does not affirmatively appear that the statement was ever “served upon the adverse party,” as required by section 332 of the civil practice act (1 Comp. Laws, 1393.) But, without deciding this motion, it is enough to say that the statement does not authorize a reversal of the judgment.
The complaint, tested either by sections 4 and 5 of the quo warranto act (1 Comp. Laws, 392-3) or by section 40 of the election law (2 Comp. Laws, 2543) is clearly sufficient. And, inasmuch as the court found that all the material allega-
The judgment of the district court is affirmed.
