Head Matter:
Welborn v. Lewis.
Special Finding.—Signature of fudge__Bill of Exceptions.—When the court, at the request of a party, states the facts in writing, and then the conclusions of the law upon them, under section 341 of the code, and this special finding is not signed by the judge or incorporated in a bill of exceptions, the Supreme Court will not review the decision of the lower court upon the questions of law involved in the trial.
APPEAL from the Knox Circuit Court.
D. F. Embree and O. M. Welborn, for appellant,
F. W. Viehe, for appellee.

Opinion:
Osborn, C. J.
The issue in this case was tried by the court. At the request of the parties, the court made a special finding of the facts and conclusions of law arising thereon.
The appellant has submitted a very able brief in the case, but the appellee makes the point that the special finding is not signed by the judge or incorporated in a bill of exceptions, and under the uniform ruling of this court, it is not before us, so as to warrant us in reviewing his decision on the questions of law arising in the case. The Peoria, etc., Company v. Walser, 22 Ind. 73; Roberts v. Smith, 34 Ind. 550.
The errors assigned are all based upon the special finding, and, as that is not before us for review, there is no available error in the case.
The judgment is affirmed, with costs.
