Appellants ask leave to file amended and supplemental assignments of errors. The appellee stipulates that this may be done. The amended assignments of error contain 227 separate assignments of error and occupy 170 pages of typewriting, the usual legal size.

The additional assignments proposed relate largely to rulings of the court on the introduction of evidence, although the first thirty-six assignments relate largely to proceedings concerning the examination of the veniremen.
