This is an application by appellant to this court for leave to prove certain exceptions alleged to have been taken by him at the trial, and which, it is alleged, the judge of the trial court refused to allow in the bill of exceptions settled by him.
The alleged crime for which petitioner was tried was an assault with intent to commit murder upon the person of one Vaughn; and it is averred in the petition, first, that upon cross-examination petitioner’s counsel asked Vauglm this question: “ Did you ever threaten this man’s life? ” that counsel for the people objected to the question; that the objection was sustained, and that petitioner excepted to the ruling; and that the court refused to jiut said exception into the bill, but, on the contrary, Settled said bill so as to show that said objection was overruled. It appears, however, by the answer o'f the judge and'the admissions of the parties on the argument of this petition, that the facts about the matter were these: The judge did first sustain said objection, but soon afterward, becoming satisfied that his ruling was wrong, he reversed it, and allowed the question and others of a substantially similar character to be asked. The presiding judge would no doubt have been more strictly accurate if he had complied with petitioner’s motion, and have put into the bill, first, his ruling sustaining the objection, and then his subsequent ruling denying it (and he would have saved thereby a good deal of trouble);, but conceding everything petb» *565tioner contends for, no real injustice was done to Mm, and the matter is not of sufficient importance to require further action in the premises.
As to the other matters set forth in the petition, it is not averred that the court refused to allow the exceptions mentioned. It merely appears that there are slight differences between the presiding judge and petitioner as to the precise circumstances under which the exceptions were taken, which do not seem to us to be material.
The prayer of the petition is denied, and the proceeding dismissed.
