Court | Oklahoma Supreme Court |
¶0 1. APPEAL AND ERROR--Presentation for Review--Denial of New Trial. The action of the lower court in overruling the motion for a new trial cannot be reviewed by this court by means of a transcript of the record.
2. SAME--Motion for New Trial--Record. A motion for a new trial copied into a transcript constitutes no part of the record, and will not be considered by the Supreme Court on appeal.
3. SAME--"Record." The record in a case shall be made up from the petition, the process, return, the pleadings subsequent thereto, reports, verdicts, orders, judgments, and all material acts and proceedings of the court.
Parker & Simons, for plaintiff in error.
McKeever & Church, for defendant in error.
¶1 This is an appeal by plaintiff in error by transcript of the record. Three assignments of error are raised in the petition in error, viz.:
¶2 The action of the lower court in overruling the motion for a new trial cannot be reviewed by this court by means of a transcript of the record. Schoolmyer v. Van Buskirk, 35 Okla. 439, 130 P. 138; Richardson v. Beidleman, 33 Okla. 463, 126 P. 818; Laird v. Bannon, 31 Okla. 627, 122 P. 180.

Whether or not there was error in the action of the trial court, as set up in assignment of error No. 2 of the petition in error, we cannot say, inasmuch as this would be an error of law occurring at the trial, and to be saved for review in this court would necessitate its presentation to the lower court by motion for new trial; and, as has been seen, this appeal coming by transcript, without case-made or bill of exceptions, we are precluded from further examination into the alleged error. The record in a case "shall be made up from the petition, the process, return, the pleadings subsequent thereto, reports, verdicts, orders, judgments and all material acts and proceedings of the court." (Section 5146, Rev. Laws 1910.) In Menten v. Shuttee, 11 Okla. 381. 67 P. 478, it was said:
