CourtIndiana Supreme Court

Harry Long, Orval W. Anderson, Gary, for appellant.

Edwin K. Steers, Atty. Gen., Carl Humble, Deputy Atty. Gen., for appellee.

EMMERT, Judge.

The appellee's petition for rehearing alleges that our first opinion is in error in copying the amended affidavit. In deciding an appeal we are entitled to set out the pleadings as they appear in the briefs, but we are not bound to do so, and in this case the amended affidavit as set out in the original opinion is an exact copy of the amended affidavit as it appears in the transcript at its proper place as duly certified by the clerk of the trial court.

'It is a settled rule of appellate procedure in this state that on appeal the record is conclusive and imports absolute verity. Burton v. Ferguson, 1880, 69 Ind. 486; Smith v. Gustin, 1907, 169 Ind. 42, 80 N.E. 959, 81 N.E. 722; Whisler v. Whisler, 1903, 162 Ind. 136, 67 N.E. 984, 70 N.E. 152; Bau v. Short, 1929, 89 Ind.App. 17, 165 N.E. 560.' Bayman v. Farmers Mutual Fire Ins. Ass'n, 1938, 213 Ind. 389, 391, 12 N.E.2d 945, 946.

'A defective or incomplete transcript can be corrected only by certiorari. Figart v. Halderman (1877) 59 Ind. 424; Sumner v. Goings (1881) 74 Ind. 293; Miller v. Shriner (1882) 87 Ind. 141; Price v. Huddleston (1906) 167 Ind. 536, 79 N.E. 496; Ross v. Stockwell (1897) 17 Ind.App. 77, 46 N.E. 360; Lake Erie & W.R. Co. v. Bates (1897) 17 Ind.App. 386, 46 NE. 831; Berkey v. Rensberger, (1912) 49 Ind.App. 226, 96 N.E. 32; Brownstown Water, etc., Co., v. Hewitt (1916) 63 Ind.App. 6, 124 N.E. 67.' Flanagan, Wiltrout and Hamilton, Indiana Trial and Appellate Practice, § 2604, pp. 251, 252. No attempt was made to correct this record by petition for writ of certiorari at the proper time.

As is stated in Ewbank's Manual of Practice (2d Ed.) § 208a, p. 426, any 'agreement of parties as to what forms a part of the record and has been omitted from the transcript is not entitled to any consideration unless such agreement has itself been made a part of the record in a manner known to the law.'

The petition for rehearing is denied.

HENLEY, C. J., and BOBBITT, LEVINE and ACHOR, JJ., concur.
