J. M. Miller v. Antelope County.
    [Filed September 21, 1892.]
    ZReview: Practice: A Motion for a New Trial is necessary to obtain a review by petition in error of the rulings of the trial court on the admission or exclusion of testimony, or to secure a review of the evidence for the purpose of determining whether it is sufficient to sustain the finding and judgment.
    Error to the district court for Antelope county. Tried •below before Norris, J.
    
      B. B. Willey, for plaintiff in error.
    
      J. F. Boyd, contra.
    
   Norval, J.

The plaintiff in error presented to the county board of Antelope county an account for $44.50- for medical services rendered by him to one Christian Mosher, a pauper, at the request of E. F. Skinner, a justice of the peace of said •county, which claim was rejected by the board, and Miller •appealed from the decision to the district court. Upon the trial there the court found the issues for the county and rendered judgment, dismissing the action.

The petition in error contains two assignments:

First — The court erred in admitting the evidence of the witness T. W. Dennis.

Second — The findings are not sustained by sufficient evidence.

‘We are precluded from examining either of the errors assigned, for the reason no motion lor a new trial was made in the court below. The filing of such a motion was indispensable, in order to review the rulings of the court on the admission or rejection of testimony, or to secure a review of the evidence for the purpose of determining whether it-sustains the finding and judgment. (Cropsey v. Wiggenhorn, 3 Neb., 108; Hosford v. Stone, 6 Id., 380; Lichty v. Clark, 10 Id., 472; Cruts v. Wray, 19 Id., 581; Weitz v. Wolfe, 28 Id., 500.)

As neither of the errors assigned .can be considered by this court, for the reason stated, the judgment of the district court must be

Affirmed.

The other judges concur.
