A document does not become an exhibit unless it is tendered and admitted as such an exhibit. A document is said to be “tendered” when by an application, the document is formally presented to the Court seeking its admission and affording the other side the opportunity of objecting or conceding to the application. It is when the document is tendered either from the bar or through a witness without objection or upon the Court overruling any objection thereto raised, that the document can be admitted as an exhibit and be so marked.
