WILLSON, C. J.
Defendant in error owned certain land in the city of Sherman. He also owned a frame dwelling house situated on the land. December 21, 1912, he 'sold and conveyed the land to the trustees of a school district. He did not sell the house, but, retaining ownership thereof, agreed to move it from the land before February 1, 1913. The house was destroyed by fire January 17, 1913, before it had been moved. At the time it was so destroyed it was insured in the sum of $700 against loss by fire, by a policy issued by plaintiff in error February 24, 1912. By the suit resulting in the judgment from which this appeal is prosecuted, defendant in error sought and was awarded a recovery on the policy of the sum stated.
In its first assignment plaintiff in error complains of the refusal by the court of its request in writing to instruct the jury to find in its favor ;• and in its second assignment it complains of the action of the court in peremptorily instructing the jury to find for defendant in error. Because of the failure of plaintiff in error to comply with the requirements of articles 1971 and 2061, Vernon’s Statutes, the assignments cannot be considered. Railway Co. v. Wilson, 176 S. W. 619, decided by this court April 15, 1915, not yet officially reported; Railway Co. v. Skeen, 174 S. W. 655; James v. Golson, 174 S. W. 688.
In the third and fourth assignments complaint is made of the action of the court in sustaining objections to and excluding certain testimony, as shown, it is recited in the assignments, “in defendant’s bill of exceptions No. 1” and its “bill of exceptions No. 2.” The bills of exceptions referred to are not in the record sent to this court. Therefore we cannot undertake to determine whether the trial court erred as charged or not.
The judgment is affirmed.
