Decision Date | 30 March 1915 |
Docket Number | No. 17228.,17228. |

Action by Samuel J. Case and others against Ella Garland. Judgment for some of the plaintiffs, and defendant appeals. Affirmed.
P. C. Breit and Booher & Williams, all of Savannah, for appellant. Edwin L. Moore of Lamar, for respondents.

Register & Co., 248 Mo. 150, 151, 154 S. W. 67, 68, Graves, J., speaking for the court, said:
Appellant contends that the abstract is sufficient under rule 32 (169 S. W. xi) of this court. But appellant cannot invoke the aid of the above rule in the present case for two reasons, viz.: (1) Rule 32 has to do only with record entries showing the necessary steps in perfecting the appeal such as the filing of an affidavit for an appeal, order granting an appeal, and the record entries concerning the leave to file and the filing of bills of exceptions. It cannot be said that the filing of a motion for a new trial is a necessary step to perfect an appeal because an appeal may be taken even when a motion for new trial has not been filed. And...
