Head Matter:
William P. Baird et al., Appellants, v. James P. George, Respondent.
St. Louis Court of Appeals,
April 24, 1888.
1. Practice, Appellate — Case for Affirmance. — When the record shows that the cause was heard upon conflicting evidence before the court sitting as a jury, that no exceptions were saved to the admission of evidence, that no instructions were asked for or given, •and that no motion for new trial was filed for two months after the trial, there is nothing for review, and the only disposition possible is an affirmance of the judgment.
2. ---Motion for Rehearing. — When the record shows that there is no case for a review, a motion for rehearing on grounds connected with the conduct of adverse counsel and a stipulation as to filing the bill of exceptions, is not entitled to consideration.
Appeal from the Dunklin Circuit Court, Hon. John G. Wear, Judge.
Affirmed.
Henry N. Phillips, for the appellants:
In this case it was agreed between the attorneys for appellants and respondent that the bill of exceptions, though filed out of time, should be the bill of exceptions in this case. It is true that the bill of exceptions in this case was not signed in time, but the same stipulation was made in this case, as in the case of Baird <& Waltrip v. Taylor, post, p. 580.
Houck & Keaton, for the respondent:
There is no bill of exceptions in this case properly; no motion for a new trial, nor in arrest of judgment preserved in a bill of exceptions, and no error in the record proper. Holloway v. Oily of Moberly, 18 Mo. App. 553. There •is no assignment of error even in brief of counsel for appellants, nor is there any error in this record. Rev. Stat., sec. 3764 : McFerran v. McKinney, 18 Mo. App. 649.

Opinion:
Rombauer, P. J.,
delivered the opinion of the court.
The record in this cause is in such condition as to. present nothing for review. The cause was tried before the court sitting as a jury, on conflicting evidence, and: judgment was rendered in favor of defendant. No: exceptions to the admission of evidence are saved, and no instructions were asked or given. Judgment was-rendered January 8, 1887. The record recites that the-motion for new trial -vpas filed on the — day of March,. 1887, although the clerk's endorsement shows it to have been filed June 8, 1887. As motions for new trial must be filed within four days after judgment, the motion thus filed was unwarranted in either event, and the-court committed no error in overruling it. The only-assignment of error filed in this court is that* the verdict is against the weight of evidence.
This statement shows that the only disposition we can make of the appeal is to affirm the judgment. So ordered.
All concur.
