State of Missouri, Appellant, v. William Keatley, Respondent.
    St. Louis Court of Appeals,
    April 6, 1886.
    Exceptions. — An unsigned bill of exceptions filed in an appellate court-presents nothing for review.
    Appeal from the Crawford County Circuit Court.
    
      Appeal dismissed.
    
    Pinnell, Farrow & Seay, for the respondent.
   Lewis, P. J.,

delivered the opinion of the court.

The record in this cause consists of what purports to be a bill of exceptions, and nothing more. But it is a nullity for that purpose, since it does not appear to have been signed by the judge before whom the proceedings were had, or, in fact, by any person. A clerk’s memorandum states that it was “ filed and signed; ” but says nothing of who signed it. Even if the paper were properly authenticated as a bill of exceptions,' it would present nothing for our review. The case ivas dismissed on motion, and a motion for a new trial was afterwards overruled. But no exception to the ruling of the court was tendered on either occasion.

The appeal is dismissed.

All the judges concur.
