   SAMFORD, J.

The only assignment of error is to the action of the trial court in overruling a motion for now trial.

Upon a careful examination, we find that no exceptions were reserved on the trial; neither the record nor the bill of exceptions shows the motion for new trial, or what it contained. In this state of the record, there is not sufficient exception presented upon which this court could predicate error.

We find no reversible error in the record, and the judgment is affirmed. v

Affirmed.
