ERROR — RECORD.
[Van Wert (3d) Circuit Court,
November Term, 1904.]
Hurin, Donnelly and Kinder, JJ.
York-Ridge Oil Co. v. W. O. Innis et al.
Filing Agreed Statement of Facts Does not Make it Part of the Record.
The mere filing of an agreed statement of facts in the trial court does not make it a part of the record, nor does a reference in the bill of exceptions to an agreed statement of facts as having been offered in evidence and as bearing the file marks of the trial court without further identification or being attached to the bill of exceptions.
Error to the eommon pleas court of Van Wert county.
E. G. Guthery, H. G. Richie and C. .0. Richie, for plaintiff in error.
O. S. Brumback and Saltzgaber, Hoke & Osborn, for defendants in error:
Counsel for defendants in error cited in support of the proposition that an agreed statement of facts, although filed in a case, is not an “original” paper. Garner v. White, 23 Ohio St. 192; Young v. State, 23 Ohio St. 577; Montgomery v. State, 4 Circ. Dec. 199 (12 R. 679); Brock v. State, 12 Circ. Dec. 467 (22 R. 364); Clev. & E. Elec. By. v. Hunter, 12 Circ. Dec. 769 (10 N. S. 564); State v. Spiegel, 25 O. C. C. 552 (4 N. S. 255).
Not even when copied in the record by the clerk. Sleet v. Williams, 21 Ohio St. 82; Goldsmith v. State, 30 Ohio St. 208; Schultz v. State, 32 Ohio St. 276.
A deposition on file, but not attached to the bill of exceptions, is not a part of the record. Hicks v. Person, 19 Ohio 426.
An agreed statement of facts must be made a part of the record by bill of exceptions. Bank of Virginia v. Bank, 16 Ohio 170; Clarke v. Lane Seminary (Tr.), 6 Dec. Re. 863 (8 Am. L. Rec. 488).

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
' The document which purports to contain and to be an agreed statement of facts in this case, does not become part of the record by being filed in the trial court. The reference to it in the bill of exceptions, as having been offered in evidence and declaring that it is a part of the record, and that it bears the file marks of the common pleas court with the date of the filing, without further identification and without being physically attached to the bill of exceptions, does not make it a part of the bill, or a part of the record. The bill of exceptions showing that such an agreed statement of facts was received in evidence, but the same not being a part of the record and not being made a part of the bill of exceptions, it conclusively appears that the bill of exceptions does not contain all the evidence, and this court is precluded from reviewing the ease upon the weight of the evidence.
The assignments of error in the petition in error are all dependent upon the facts as found from consideration of the evidence. This being the situation, this court is without power to review, and so must of necessity affirm the judgment.
The judgment is affirmed at the cost of plaintiff in error without penalty. Judgment for costs, execution awarded, and case remanded for execution.
