Supreme Court of the United States February 12, 1872 (Bethell v. Mathews)

The CHIEF JUSTICE:

It has been often decided that a plaintiff in error cannot take advantage of rulings upon exceptions in his own favor, even if erroneous. Nor can a statement of facts signed by

*3

counsel be noticed upon error.

*

In this case, then, not only was the statement so signed, but it’ does not appear to have been made and filed until after the judgment.
