#### Ohio Motors, Inc., Appellee, *v.*Charlesworth, Exrx., et al., Appellants.

*300(No. 21788

Decided August 14, 1950.)

*Mr. Frank X. Schaut*and *Messrs. Bravo <& Bernstein,*for appellee.

*Mr. ■William 11. Luther, Mr. Lester Yoder*and *Mr. Albert D. Nesbitt,*for appellants.

Fess, J.

This is an appeal from-an order of the Common Pleas Court dismissing defendants’ appeal on questions of law and fact from a judgment entered by the Probate Court on the ground that the Common Pleas Court did not have jurisdiction of the appeal because a record was taken of the proceedings in the Probate Court.

The motion to dismiss the appeal was heard upon evidence and the order dismissing it was journalized oh November 29, 1949. On December 6, 1949, defendants filed a motion for new trial which was overruled. January 6, 1950. Notice of appeal to this court was filed January 16, 1950.

Plaintiff, appellee, moved to dismiss the appeal herein on the ground that the notice of appeal was filed more than twenty days after the entry dismissing *301the appeal below and that defendants’ motion for new trial was ineffective to extend the time for appeal.

The motion for a new trial was filed within ten days after the entry of a final order. Section 12223-7, General Code.

Section 11575, General Code, as amended October 11,1945, defines a new trial as a re-examination in the same court of the issues after a final order, judgment or decree by the court. Prior to its amendment, a new trial was confined to a re-examination of an issue of fact but the section as amended contemplated a reexamination of issues of law as well as of fact. In support of the motion to dismiss, plaintiff cites *Kromer*v. *Rear,*86 Ohio App., 309, 55 Ohio Law Abs., 385, 90 N. E. (2d), 422, and *McKee*v. *Clark,*55 Ohio Law Abs., 496, 90 N. E. (2d), 584, which hold that there is no provision in the Code for the filing of a motion for new-trial in an appellate court after a determination of an appeal on questions of law only.

In the instant case, the motion to dismiss below was determined upon issues of fact and law and the motion for a new trial was duly filed and thereafter overruled by the court. Having been filed, the time for appeal from the final order did not begin to run until the entry of the order overruling the motion for new trial. The motion to dismiss the appeal herein is therefore overruled.

Upon the merits of the appeal, the Common Pleas Court upon the evidence found that a record of the hearing in the Probate Court was taken by direction, of the court and that a transcript thereof was available upon request. This finding was amply supported' by the evidence.

Section 10501-56, General Code, provides for an appeal from the Probate Court to the Court of Appeals, *302but provides further that “if, for any reason, a record has not been taken at the hearing of any matter before the Probate Court so that a bill of exceptions or a complete record may be prepared as provided by law in Courts of Common Pleas, then gn appeal on questions •of law and fact may be taken to the Court of Common Pleas * *

The evidence tending to show that a stenographic report was not taken of the argument of counsel and rulings on motions could not make the record incomplete. If counsel desire to have matters other than testimony taken down, it is their duty to demand it.

Upon the evidence adduced upon the hearing of the motion to dismiss, the Common Pleas Court did not have jurisdiction of the appeal, and its order dismissing same is affirmed.

*Judgment affirmed.*
