Peterman v. State

Decision Date14 April 1904
PartiesPETERMAN v. STATE.
CourtAlabama Supreme Court

Appeal from Circuit Court, Henry County; John P. Hubbard, Judge.

Albert Peterman was convicted of carrying a concealed pistol, and he appeals. Affirmed.

The appellant in this case, Albert Peterman, was indicted, tried, and convicted for carrying a pistol concealed about his person. In the opinion on the present appeal the bill of exceptions cannot be looked to in order to review the rulings of the trial court, and therefore it is unnecessary to set out the facts of the case in detail.

Massey Wilson, Atty. Gen., for the State.

DOWDELL, J.

The bill of exceptions in this case was signed in vacation. So far as the record shows, there was no agreement in writing by counsel, nor order of the court in term time, pursuant to the requirements of the statute, which extended the time for the signing of the bill beyond the term of the court. The bill of exceptions contains a recital to the effect that an order was made by the court fixing a time in vacation, but no such order appears in the record proper. It has been decided by this court that such an order by the court must appear of record, and the omission cannot be supplied by a recital in the bill of exceptions. Dantzler v. Swift Creek Mill Co., 128 Ala. 410, 30 So. 674, and other cases following that one. The bill of exceptions, therefore, cannot be looked to or considered for any purpose.

No error appearing in the record, the judgment of the circuit court must be affirmed. Affirmed.
