Spencer v. St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern Ry. Co.
| Decision Date | 31 October 1883 |
| Parties | SPENCER v. THE ST. LOUIS, IRON MOUNTAIN & SOUTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY, Appellant. |
| Court | Missouri Supreme Court |
Appeal from Jefferson Circuit Court.--HON. L. F. DINNING, Judge.
AFFIRMED.
Smith & Krauthoff with T. J. Portis for appellant.
Fred. Wislizenus for respondent
Respondent recovered judgment against the appellant for damages resulting from the alleged wrongful killing of two horses belonging to plaintiff. From this judgment the defendant appealed to this court. The record shows that judgment was rendered at the September term, 1879, of the court, and appeal perfected at the same term. The respondent raises here the question as to whether any bill of exceptions was filed as required by law. The record proper, so called, does not show that any bill of exceptions was filed in the case. But what purports to be the bill of exceptions contains the following recital:
No bill of exceptions was filed during the term at which the case was tried. To authorize the filing of such bill at a subsequent term to the term at which the trial was had requires the assent of both the parties and that of the court entered of record at the term of trial and judgment. McCarty v. Cunningham, 75 Mo. 279. As the consent of the court to the subsequent filing of the bill of exceptions does not appear of record at the term when judgment was entered and motions for new trial and in arrest were disposed of, what purports to be the bill of exceptions in this record cannot be considered.
Perceiving no errors in the record proper, the judgment of the circuit court must be affirmed.
EWING, C., concurs; MARTIN, C. absent.
