This is a compensation case. It arises out of an injury sustained by plaintiff on June 16, 1937, in an accident which arose out of and in the course of his then employment. In the hearing or rehearing in the compensation court, he received an award of compensation against the defendants Associated Asphalt Contractors, Incorporated, the Village of Ansley Custer county, Nebraska, and the Travelers Insurance Company, a corporation, from which the defendants above named prosecuted an appeal to the district court for Custer county. From a judgment of affirmance as to defendants Associated Asphalt Contractors, Incorporated, the Village of Ansley, Nebraska, and the Travelers Insurance Company, a corporation, made and entered in the district court for Custer county on May 8, 1939, jointly and severally against the defendants last named, the defendants Village of Ansley, Nebraska, and the Travelers Insurance Company now appeal to this court.
The controlling statute governing the procedure on appeals to the supreme court in compensation cases is included in section 48-174, Comp.St.Supp.1937, viz.:
The condition of the record presented on this appeal challenges our attention to certain defects which we will now consider.
We are committed to the view, viz.: " The Supreme Court has no power to exercise appellate jurisdiction in proceedings to review the judgments of the district court, unless a transcript is filed with the clerk of this court within the time prescribed by law for taking appeals." State v. Amsberry, 104 Neb. 273, 279, 177 N.W. 179, 178 N.W. 822.See, also, State v. Amsberry, 104 Neb. 769, 178 N.W. 828.
One of the essential requirements for perfecting an appeal, as stated by this court, is: McDonald v. Grabow, 46 Neb. 406, 64 N.W. 1093.See, also, Fromholz v. McGahey, 85 Neb. 205, 122 N.W. 879.
