1. It is the duty of counsel for the plaintiff in error to present to the presiding judge for his certificate a true bill of exceptions, and it is his further duty, where the judge refuses to certify the bill of exceptions tendered him but fails to give in writing his objections thereto, to request the judge to endorse upon the hill of exceptions his reasons for his refusal; and if the judge fails to do so, then the matter should be brought to the attention of this court. Coleman v. Johnson, 45 Ga. 317; Vason v. Gardner, 70 Ga. 517.
