   DOWDELL, J.

The ruling by the court on -a motion to retax the costs is not subject to review on appeal unless properly presented by bill of exceptions. The bill of exceptions in this ease fails to show that any exception was reserved to the action of the court in overruling the motion, and, therefore, cannot be here assigned as error.

This being the only question presented on this appeal, the judgment of the circuit court must he affirmed.
