Opinion:
Noryal, J.
The motion for a new trial was overruled and final judgment was rendered by the court below on November 23, 1895.

As the error proceeding was not commenced in this court within one year from the time the motion for a new trial was overruled, this court is without jurisdiction to review the case. (Sharp v. Brown, 34 Neb. 406; Scarborough v. Myrick, 47 Neb. 794; Chapman v. Allen, 33 Neb. 129; Record v. Butters, 42 Neb. 786.) The proceeding is ,
