Elliott, C. J. —

The appellee’s counsel insist that the assignment of errors is not ‍‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‍properly in the record because it is pasted to the transcript. We regard this objection as too technical to prevail. Even before the adoption of the present rules ‍‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‍the assigment of errors might be made part of the record by permanently attaching it to the transcript, for we *511think that when attached as a page of the ‍‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‍transcript the assignment is “entered on the records” within the meaning of the code.

Filed June 26, 1889.

An instruction in an action by a husband for the seduction of ‍‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‍his wife which informs the jury that the plaintiff can not recover if the wife consented to the sexual intercourse, is erroneous under any supposable state of the ‍‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‍evidence. As the trial court gave such an instruction the judgment must be reversed.
