1. Bui of exceptions should veime. 1. The appellants insist that the judgL 1 J ® should be reversed because the court improperly denied their motion for a change of venue. This is a question which we cannot consider, for the reason that the petition for a change of venue and supporting affidavits are not brought upon the record by bill of exceptions. Stearns v. Ry. Co., 94 Mo., 317; Wolff v. Ward, 16 S. W., 161.
2 Evidence of damages m tIchmCTftul 2. It was competent for the defendant to prove the value goods before their seizure under the attachment, and also the extent of their depreciation in value at the time of their restoration to him, as the testimony tended to show that the depreciation was occasioned by the seizure. For this reason we think the appellants’ objection to the admission of testimony was properly overruled.
3. The appellants could not reduce the appellee’s recovery for damages occasioned by attaching his goods and closing his store by proving that he would probably have sold them in bulk within a short time after the levy at a reduced price. The sale was entirely conjectural and might never have been made, and proof that it was contemplated was therefore incompetent. The proof that such sale if made would have been at reduced price was further incompetent for the reason that it had no tendency to fix the real damage. One whose property is injured by the wrongful act of another is entitled to recover to the extent of its injury, although he may have intended to give it away or sacrifice it in the near future. For the reason indicated we think there was no error in excluding the testimony offered by appellants.
Finding no error in the record, the judgment will be affirmed.
