Head Matter:
MAYOR’S COURT — BILLS OF EXCEPTIONS.
[Cuyahoga Circuit court
December 22, 1899.]
Caldwell, Marvin and Hale, JJ.
Peter Nelson, v. Thomas J. Quail, Mayor.
Mayor Cannot Extend Time for Biia or Exceptions.
A mayor has no authority to sign and allow a bill of exceptions after final judgment and the overruling of a motion for a new trial.
Error to the Court of Common pleas of Cuyahoga county.
Edmond Hitchens, for plaintiff in error.
A. V. Taylor and W. B. Wheeler, for defendant in error.

Opinion:
Hale j.
The judgment of the court of common pleas is affirmed.
We have found no statute conferring authority upon the mayor to sign and allow a bill of exceptions after final judgment and the overruling of the motion for a new trial.
And, in thus holding, we follow the case of Bradner (Village) v. Grundetisch, 8 Circ. Dec., 122.
