This proceeding in error is brought to reverse a judgment rendered upon a demurrer to the evidence, and the errors complained of consist only of errors alleged to have occurred at the trial. Under this condition of the record, nothing is presented to this court by the petition in error that can be considered; and upon the authority of James v. Jackson et al., 30 Okla. 190, 130 Pac. 288, Stump v. Porter et al., 31 Okla. 157, 120 Pac. 639, and State of Oklahoma v. Adams, 31 Okla. 775, 123 Pac. 1127, the cause must be dismissed.
