BILL OF EXCEPTIONS.
    [Hamilton Circuit Court,
    May, 1898.]
    Cox, Smith and Swing, JJ.
    
      The Upham Manufacturing Co. v. Gibson & Warrington.
    Triar Judge roses Jurisdiction Overa Birr of Exceptions, When—
    The trial judge loses jurisdiction over a bill of exceptions which is not presented until forty-five days after the overruling of the motion for a new trial.
    
      
      See ante 127.
    
   Swing, J.

We see no reason to change the decision heretofore announced by us in this case as to striking the bill of exceptions from the files and therefore affirming the judgment, as all the errors relied on arise out of the bill of exceptions. The record as corrected shows that the motion for a new trial was overruled July 22, instead of June 29. The bill of ■exceptions was signed and filed September 9, this was forty-nine days from the date of the overruling of the motion for a new trial. The ■record recites, on the 9th of September: “Now comes and presents this its bill of exceptions.” The law requires it to be presented to the Judge .at least five days before the expiration of the fifty days, and this our ;Supretne Court has held is jurisdictional, and that unless so presented, •the judge loses jurisdiction to sign the bill. This entry clearly shows that it was not presented until the forty-ninth day.
