[Opinion filed January 14, 1891.]

Mr. W. C. Asay, for appellants.
Messrs. Richolson, Matson & Pease, for appellee.-

Opinion:
Gaby, J.
This is a ridiculous case. There is a paper in it called a bill of exceptions, but there is no exception to anything in it. The clerk has recited upon the record that a motion for a new trial was made and refused, and that the defendants, appellants, excepted; but such recital goes for nothing. The only quarrel is with the finding upon the facts. Foreman v. Johnson, 37 Ill. App. 452.
Judgment affirmed.
