A motion, upon suggestion of diminution of the record, to insert in the transcript now on file in this court instructions offered by the parties at the trial of the action in order that the record shall show at whose request certain of the court's instructions to the jury were given.
The record on appeal was prepared under the provisions of section 953a of the Code of Civil Procedure, and the motion is accompanied by copies of forms of instructions certified by the clerk of the trial court to be true copies of "defendants' instructions" filed in his office.
[1] These papers, in order to be available on appeal, should have been included in the reporter's transcript and made a part of the record by the action of the trial court including them therein and certifying them to be correct. (Tracy Brick ArtStone Co. v. Wurster, 44 Cal.App. 652 [187 P. 125];Martin v. Pacific Gas Elec. Co., 195 Cal. 544 [234 P. 321].) [2] As held in the case last cited, if through mistake, inadvertence, or neglect they were omitted therefrom application for relief in the first instance should have been made in the trial court; and *Page 584 in the absence of its action thereon the insertion of the papers in the transcript would add nothing to the authentic record on appeal. The motion is denied.
Tyler, P.J., and Knight, J., concurred.
