LITTLEFIELD

v. GAY.

Supreme Judicial Court of Maine.

Aug. 13, 1901.

Exceptions from supreme judicial court, Knox county.

Action by Arthur S. Littlefield against Ephraim Gay. Exceptions by plaintiff. Exceptions overruled.

Argued before WISWELL, C. J., and EMERY, STROUT, and PEABODY, JJ.

C. E. & A. S. Littlefield, for plaintiff.

L. M. Staples, for defendant.

PER CURIAM. A bill of exceptions must contain statements of facts or evidence showing affirmatively that the ruling excepted to in fact deprived the excepting party of some legal right.

Granting, for the purpose of the argument only, that notwithstanding the United States bankruptcy act went into full effect July 1, 1898, the state insolvency court may after that date take cognizance of certain classes of insolvency cases, the bill of exceptions does not contain statements of any facts or evidence affirmatively showing this case to be within any of those classes.

Exceptions overruled.
