1922In Roundtree v. City of Galveston, 42 Tex. 612 , our Supreme Court held a bill of exception was not a statement of facts under our procedure, but said: “In our liberal practice, discarding mere matters of form, the statement of facts may be made to- serve the purpose also of a bill of exceptions; for the reason that it has upon its face the concurrent assent of the parties and the court.” An exception having been reserved to the ruling of the court on the plea in abatement at the time it was made, which was noted in the order of the court overruling -the plea, was a sufficient exception theret

1931An excerpt from his testimony is quoted in the original opinion in which the following appears: “He knocked his jumper back and was in position like he was going to get his gun, and when he did that I shot him in the arm to keep him from getting his gun.” In his motion the appellant relies upon the principle that where there is a conflict between the statement of facts and a bill of exception, the bill prevails, citing Elkins v. State, 101 Texas Crim.

1931Rep., 152 (see page 163), 295 S. W., 1098, 1104 , the question was discussed as follows: To appraise a bill of exception, whether it relates to excluded testimony, or to determine whether from other sources or from the same witness, testimony which in substance is the same as that, the exclusion of which is complained of went into the record, are matters which this court has always held it had a right -to go to the statement of facts to determine, and which right, of necessity, it must have.
