ALBERT, C.
This is an action in replevin. There was a trial to a jury, which resulted in a verdict for the plaintiff. From a judgment rendered thereon, the defendants prosecute error to this court.
All assignments of error, save one, which will be noted presently, are predicated on the rulings of the trial court, which are required to be brought, and which were thus brought, to its attention by motion for a new trial. The ruling of the court on that motion is not complained of in the petition in error. Such being the case, the question arises whether the failure to assign error on the ruling of the court on the motion for a new trial precludes an examination of such errors here. This court has twice passed on that question. In Chicago, B. & Q. R. Co. v. Cass Co., 51 Neb. 369, 70 N. W. 955, in an opinion by Ragan, C., it was held that such errors would be reviewed, notwithstanding such omission. No authorities are cited in support of that opinion. In James v. Higginbotham, 60 Neb. 203, 82 N. W. 625, in an opinion by Sullivan, J., a contrary conclusion was reached. So the question is still an open one in this state. In our opinion, the latter case states the correct rule, and is fully sustained by the authorities there cited. The defendants are here seeking to reverse the judgment of the trial court. It is but fair to assume that they are satisfied with every ruling of which they make no complaint. They make no complaint of the ruling on the motion for a new trial. In other words, they are satisfied with that ruling. If they are satisfied with that ruling, then they must be held to have waived every error assignable in such motion. Lowrie v. France, 7 Neb. 191;Murray v. School Dist. No. 3, 11 Neb. 436, 4 N. W. 316.
It may be suggested that the assignment that the court erred in overruling the motion for a new trial is covered by an assignment
