may be used as evidence in the cause, or where some question may arise
in regard thereto, reviewable by the court of appeals, then, so much
only of any such matter or proceedings as may be used in evidence, or
as appertain to the decision or determination desired to be reviewed,
shall be incorporated in the transcript, and no more; the intent being
to avoid incorporating in the transcript any matter or thing not material
to the full and fair presentation of the questions to be reviewed by the
appellate court.
