Docket Number | 1,482 |
Citation | 39 N.E. 1048,12 Ind.App. 343 |
Parties | TROUT v. THE CITY OF ELKHART |
Court | Indiana Appellate Court |
From the Elkhart Circuit Court.
Judgment affirmed.
J. S Dodge and O. Z. Hubbell, for appellant.
O. T Chamberlain and P. L. Turner, for appellee.
OPINION
This was an action brought to recover damages for injuries alleged to have been received by appellant by falling off a bridge, which was a part of one of the streets of the city of Elkhart, and was erected across a watercourse which intersected such street. The cause was tried by the court without the intervention of a jury, and a special finding of facts made with conclusions of law thereon.
The only specification of error assigned in this court is: "The court erred in its conclusions of law on the special findings."
A special finding, like a special verdict, in order to be sufficient to sustain a judgment in favor of the party upon whom rests the burden of the issues, must find all the facts necessary to sustain such issue.

The finding made by the court is as follows:
