Per Curiam:

"We are of the opinion that appellant was entitled to have included in the case on appeal those portions of the summation by the respondent’s counsel which were taken down at defendant’s request and .upon which, in part, the appellant seeks to base his argument on appeal. It may be that the defendant’s exception did not raise a question of law. Upon that question we now express no opinion. The verdict, however, is a large one and this court is entitled to consider and pass upon the question whether or not it is excessive. It may be that the character of the summing up by counsel would throw light on that question, and whether or not defendant’s exception raised any legal question, it might be considered as a protest against the substance and manner of the summation, and for stall any suggestion that the objection thereto was an afterthought. The order appealed from should be reversed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements, and motion to allow amendment granted. Present— Ingraham, P. J., McLaughlin, Laughlin, Clarke and Scott, JJ. Order reversed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements, and motion granted.
