If the loss or absence of the record, or any part thereof, be first discovered during the progress of a trial, the cause may be proceeded with notwithstanding the loss; but if a substitute therefor be essential, the trial may be suspended temporarily, and the record or instrument substituted at once, without any other notice than the direction of the court to the parties to proceed to substitute the lost and absent document.
