W. N. REYNOLDS
v.
David HENSON.
1 Div. 103.

Supreme Court of Alabama.
August 1, 1963.
Wallace P. Pruitt and Granade &amp; Granade, Chatom, for appellant.
Grady W. Hurst, Jr., Chatom, for appellee.
LIVINGSTON, Chief Justice.
This is a statutory action in the nature of ejectment. There was a judgment for plaintiff, and defendant appeals.
The controversy is over the SW¼ of the SE¼ of Section 17, Township 8 North, Range 1 West, in Washington County, Alabama.
This is the second appeal in this case. See Reynolds v. Henson, 268 Ala. 239, 105 So. 2d 679.
Rule 9 of the Revised Rules of the Supreme Court of Alabama, effective June 1, 1955, 261 Ala. XIX, reads:
Appellant's brief commences with a "Statement of Facts," next, what appellant terms "Brief and Argument," and the brief terminates with what is termed a "Conclusion," all in narrative form.
Appellant's brief is totally lacking in compliance with Rule 9 in the following particulars: (1) there is no "Statement of the Case" as contemplated by above Rule 9; (2) nowhere does the brief refer to pages of the transcript; (3) there are no "Propositions of Law" stated upon which appellant relies to sustain the errors assigned; (4) there is no argument with respect to errors assigned which counsel desire to insist upon; and (5) nowhere in appellant's brief is any assignment of error mentioned. Neither does the brief direct us to a specific application of a ruling assigned as error, and this Court cannot be put to a search for errors not specifically assigned and argued in brief. Suits v. Glover, 260 Ala. 449, 71 So. 2d 49, 43 A.L.R. 2d 465; Shelby County v. Hatfield, 264 Ala. 488, 88 So. 2d 842. In Suits v. Glover, supra, it was said:
It was stated in Boles v. Bonner, 267 Ala. 342, 101 So. 2d 544, as follows:
There is no alternative but to affirm the judgment of the lower court.
Affirmed.
SIMPSON, MERRILL and HARWOOD, JJ., concur.
