Per Curiam:

In order that the errors relied on for reversal in this case may ‍​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‍be examined, the record must show that all the evidence had been there preserved. The only statement contained in the record tending to show such to ‍​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‍be the fact is the following, occurring at the close of the evidence: “And thereupon the plaintiff, having no further evidence to introduce, rested his case; ‍​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‍and the defendant, having no further evidence to introduce, rested his case, *863and the case was closed.” This statement is not equivalent to one that all the ‍​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‍evidence is to be found in the case-made. The certificate of the trial judge contains the statement that the case-made contains all the evidence. This, however, ‍​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‍is ineffectual. (Sandford v. Weeks, 50 Kan. 336, 31 Pac. 1087.)

The petition in error will be dismissed.
