Stansell vs. Corning.
    In cases tried by the Court, without a jury, where arequest for a written finding is duly filed it is error to enter judgment without firstjiling such finding.
    Error to Cass Circuit.
   Opinion by

Graves, J.

Considering the somewhat unsatisfactory manner in which this record is constituted, and the qustions raised by it, we do not feel called on to examine it fartber than is found necessary to decide the case. It contains sixty assignments of error, but many of them merely question the correctness of the finding of facts by the Court below, and many others have no legal support in the facts found.

The case was tried before the Court without a jury, and a judgment was entered for the plaintiff for $1861 82,' without any finding of facts, though afterwards a finding of facts and law was filed. Held, that this course was erroneous, requests for such finding having been filed by the”parties on’the trial in aecprdánce with the rule.

Judgment reversed with costs, and new trial ordered.
