Opinion:
NICHOLSON, C. J.
This cause is before us on the motion of defendant in error to dismiss the appeal, and for judgment on the supersedeas bond.
It appears from t!he record that notice of settlement of case-made was served upon the defendant in error on September 27, 1924, and recited that said case-made would be presented to the trial judge ^01' settlement and signing at his chambers in the city of Cherokee. Alfalfa county, on the 2nd day of October, 1924, at 9 o'clock a. m., but instead of presenting said casd-made in conformity with said notice, the case-made was presented to, and settled and signed by the trial judge on the 27th day of September, 1924, at Enid, in Garfield county, without any appearance or waiver of notice by the defendant in error or its counsel.
This notice was insufficient to confer authority upon the trial judge; to sign and settle the case-made at the time and place it was settled, in the absence of the des feindant in error, and said case-made is a nullity.
The ease-made is certified as a transcript, but as the errors assigned are such that they could only be presented by case-made, the petition in error presents nothing for review. The appeal is dismissed.
It appearing that the defendant in error is entitled to judgment on the supersedeas bond, it is ordered that the defendant in error do have and recover of and from J. E. Mahoney, surety on said bond, the sum of $200.25. and all costs, for which execution is awarded.
All the Justices concur.
