Bill of Exceptions—Effect of Certification by Judge.—Whether or not a bill of exceptions has been correctly engrossed so as to embody all that the judge at the time of actual settlement, ordered incorporated in it, is a matter to be determined by the judge at the time the engrossed bill is presented for certification, and his certification of the same is an adjudication that it is so correctly engrossed.

Id.—New Trial—Record of Court.—A bill of exceptions on a motion for a new trial, when certified by the judge, is filed with the clerk, and as so certified becomes the record of the court, and the only record in the matter, and the motion for a new trial, so far as it is based on the bill of exceptions, is based and must be heard and determined on it as so certified and filed, or as previously corrected under section 473 of the Code of Civil Procedure.

Id.—Amendment of Bill After Appeal.—An appeal from an order denying a new trial deprives the superior court of jurisdiction to-set aside such order, and while that order is in force, the record upon which it is based cannot be changed, and the supreme court must review the order upon the same record upon which it was made. A different rule applies where the bill of exceptions is to be used on an appeal from a decision made before the bill of exceptions was settled. The effect of an amendment in such a case being simply to enable this court to review the decision of the lower court in view of all the facts which that court had before it when it made its decision.

Id.—Application to Amend Bill Must be Made within Six Months.— After a bill of exceptions on motion for a new trial has been certified by the judge and filed, the power of the court to amend it, on the ground of mistake, inadvertence, surprise, or excusable neglect, is derived from and limited by the terms of section 473 of the Code of Civil Procedure; and an application for an amendment made more than six months from the date of the certification is too late, and beyond the power of the court to grant. The certification of the bill was a “proceeding” within the meaning of that section.
