The action was tried by a jury, who returned a special verdict. There are two appeals. Plaintiff
The plaintiff moves to dismiss the defendant’s appeal on the ground that the order is not appealable. We think it is appealable. It was not followed by judgment for the opposite party, from which an appeal could be taken; so the order clearly affects a substantial right, namely, the right to have the question of the defendant’s right to a judgment upon the verdict passed upon by this court.

'Upon plaintiff’s appeal a bill of exceptions was settled by the court, consisting simply of the special verdict. It appears by affidavit that an admission of a very important fact in the case was made in open court on the trial. This admission was not incorporated in the bill of exceptions, though defendant proposed an amendment to that effect. Defendant moves that the bill of-exceptions be returned, so that the same may be corrected by inserting such admission. We do not determine now wThat the effect of the admission may be, nor can we order the trial court, upon this motion, to insert matter in the bill of exceptions; but in our opinion the admission was proper to be inserted in the bill, and should be there, inasmuch as a fact admitted on the trial is one of the facts in the case, as much as the finding of the special verdict.
The plaintiff’s motion to dismiss will be denied, and the defendant’s motion to return the record to the superior court of Milwaukee county, in order that motion may be there made for correction of the bill of exceptions, will be granted.
