BOATLEY et al. v. FIELDS.
    (No. 3794.)
    Court of Civil Appeals of Texas. Texarkana.
    Jan. 16, 1930.
    Crosby & Estes, of Greenville, for appellants.
    Olin P. MeWhirter, of Greenville, for ap-pellee.
   HODGES, J.

This suit was filed by ithe ap-pellee against the appellant to recover the sum of $25S.60, the value of groceries, board, doctor’s bill, and cash furnished to a relative of the appellants. It was alleged that those services were rendered and articles furnished at ithe instance and request of the appellants. The ease was tried before the court without a jury, and a judgment rendered in favor of the appellee. Within the time prescribed by statute appellants in writing requested the •count to file his fincjings of fact and conclusions of law. That was not done. The record contains. several assignments which cannot be passed upon intelligently without findings of fact- or conclusions of law. There is no statement of facts.

We are of the.opinion that the failure of ithe court to grant the request of the appellants and file his findings of fact and.conclusions of law is reversible error. Wandry v. Williams (Tex. Civ. App.) 125 S. W. 362, and cases there referred to. • '

The judgment is accordingly reversed, and the cause remanded for a new trial.
