MATHEWS, Circuit Judge.
Appellant was indicted in six counts. Count 1 charged that appellant took and carried away for his own use, with intent to steal and purloin, certain property of the United States.1 Each of the other counts charged that appellant had in his possession, with intent to convert to his own use and gain, certain property of the United States which had theretofore been stolen, knowing the same to have been so stolen.2 Appellant was arraigned, pleaded not guilty, waived jury trial, was tried by the court, and was found guilty on count 1 and not guilty on the other counts. A motion for a new trial was made and denied. Thereupon, on February 18, 1944, judgment was entered sentencing appellant to be imprisoned for one year on count 1 and dismissing the other counts. From that judgment this appeal is prosecuted.
*933Twenty-seven alleged errors were assigned3 and are specified.4 Assignments 1-25 are to rulings on evidence. Appellant did not except to these rulings. Hence assignments 1-25 need not be considered.5 However, we have considered them6 and find no merit <n them.
 Assignment 26 is that “the court erred in finding [appellant] guilty of the first count of the indictment, that of theft, while finding him not guilty of possession on the remaining five counts.” Thus it is, in effect, asserted that the finding on count 1 was inconsistent with the finding on the other counts of the indictment. This, if true, is immaterial, it being well settled that verdicts or findings on different counts of an indictment need not be consistent.7 The sufficiency of the evidence to support the finding on count 1 of the indictment in this case is not challenged by assignment 26 or any other assignment. We nevertheless have examined the evidence and find that it amply supports that finding.
Assignment 27 is that the court erred in denying the motion for a new trial. Denial of the motion was not assignable as error.8 and is not reviewable.9
Judgment affirmed.
