PIEROE OOUNTY.

In re Estate of Benjamin F. Young, and
Frank L. Kuhn's appeal. No. 468 Filed
July 7, 1892. From Pierce county.
The appellant, as administrator of the
estate Of Young, deceased, collected $4,-
300 as damages from the Northern Pacific
Railroad company for causing the death
of his decedent. In presenting his final
account he claimed nothing as COM
mission, but asked to be allowed 81, 1888. 80
for money paid to himself as attorney for
the heir in prosecuting and collecting the
claim against the railroad company. The
court disallowed the demand, but allowed
the usual commissions
The appellant made the collection and
brought 1t into the estate by his report.
We must, therefore, assume it to have
been within the line of his duty to do all
he did. The law fixes his fees for doing his
duty, without anticipation that he will
make agree ments with heirs for additional
compensation, as he claims to have done
in this case. Such agreements ought GER
tainly to be so far void that court of pro-
bate would refuse to recognize them in the
settlement of an administrators accounts.
When a lawyer becomes a voluntary ad-
ministrator, he takes the Office cum onere,
and although he exercises professional
skill in conducting the estate, he does not
thereby entitle himself to additional CON
sideration.

Donald McKinnon and Joseph Kerr, doing
business under the firm name Of McKin-
non & Kerr, respondents, VS.. The King
ston Land & improvement company,
corporation, @. g. Calkins and Nellie
Calkins, his wife, appellants. No. 490
Filed July Z, 1892. From Kitsap county.
The respondents move the court to dis
miss the appeal for the reason that no
statement of facts has ever been settled or
filed in the cause.
Appellants conoede that there is no
statement of facts in the record, but insist
that none is necessary, as there appears in
the record full finding of facts by the
trial court. The contention Of appellants
is untenable. 1t is true that in actions at
law, which are tried by the court without
jury, the findings of fact by lthe court
may be necessary part of the record, but
the rule is different in causes of equitable
cOgnizance. In the latter class of cases the
action is tried de nOvo in this court, and
this cannot be done in the absence of the
testimony taken in the cause below and
the testimony can only become a part of
the record by being incorporated in a prop
erly settled and certified statement of facts.
Code of Proc, sec. 1923. We can perceive
no reason why a finding of fact by trial
Judge in an equitable action should not
have the same force and effect that it has
in a cause strictly legal, but the legislature
has taken a different view of the matter,
and the courts, as well as itigants must
yield unhesitatingly to the legislative will.
For the reasons above indicated the ap-
peal must be dismissed.

FOUR DECISIONS.
CLARKE COnNTY.

All decisions of the supreme court will
appear in THE DAILY and WEEKLY TRIB-
UNE.
spondents, VS.. Gay Hayden, appellant.
No. sos, Filed July 7th, 1892. From
Clarke county.
The decree from which this appeal was
taken was entered on June o. 1891, and
notice OF appeal was served on counsel for
respondents on December IL, 1891.
The evidence introduced at the trial in
the court below is certified up to this court,
but it is neither attached to nor embodied
In any statement of facts. Indeed no state
ment of facts was ever settled or signed
by the Judge, or even filed in he cause
and, for that reason, the respondents move
this court to dismiss the appeal. Appel
ant, in opposition to the motion, insists
that inasmuch as it appears that all of the
evidence in the record the appeal ought not
to be dismissed, but that the court should
proceed to retry the cause upon the record
as it is. But the statute provides that in
all cases the party appealing may have any
fact or facts, not already a part of the
record made so by a statement of facts,
and that in cases like this, the statement
of facts must contain not only all the testi-
mony on which the cause was tried below,
but also all the objections or exceptions
taken to the reception or rejection of the
same. Code of Proc, Sec. 1923. 1t is evil
dent from the foregoing provision Of the
code that it is necessary to have something
more than the mere evidence before us be-
fore we can proceed to try cause de noYo
in this court.
The testimony cannot properly be con-
gidered by this court except it be en-
bodied in a statement of facts certified as
required by law, and there being no such
statement in the record the appeal must be
dismissed. ANDERs, @. j.

KITTITAS COUNTY.

Alexander Small, appellant Y. S. r.
Geddis, respondent, No, 361 Filed July
7, 1892. From Kittitas county.
The respondent moves this court to
strike the statement of facts from the
transcript for the alleged reason that the
same is not certified as required by law.
The certificate of the trial Judge is "that
the annexed and foregoing statement of
facts, together with the exhibits on file in
the clerks Office of Kittitas county, Wash
ingtOn, and filed in said cause, constitute
all the material evidence and testimony in
said cause"
While no particular form of certificate is
prescribed, it is provided by statute that
''the certificate of the judge that the statute
contains all the material facts in the cause
shall be sufficient" Code of Procedure,
Sec. 1923 No statement of facts is there
fore sufficiently authenticated to be con-
unless it appears from the judges certifi-
cate that it, at least, contains all the ma
terial facts in the cause. In this case we
are informed that the statement contains
all the material evidence and testimony in
the cause, and all the exhibits on file in
said cause whatever they may be, but as
there may have been material facts before
the court at the trial not shown by the evil
dence it follows that the certificate is
clearly insufficient. See Clark Harris Com
pany v. Douthet, and o. S. Carriage Com
pany Y. Miller, decided at this court by its
present session.
The motion to strike the statement of
facts is sustained, and as this is an equita-
BILE action and cannot be here retired with
out all of the facts upon which the judg-
ment was based, the appeal must be
dismissed. ANDERs, @. ].
