— Defendants appealed from both the judgment and order denying their motion for nеw trial. Plaintiffs and respondents have moved diminution of the record, suggesting that therе should be incorporated therein three papers filed in the trial cоurt, to wit, a request for the medical examination of plaintiff, a motion for suсh examination, and a stipulation that a physical examination of plaintiff be had. Defendants have moved to strike said motion from the files, together with its supporting affidavit *598 and exhibits, the latter consisting of copies of the papers aforementioned.
The affidavit charges that the trial judge considered such papers in denying the motion for new trial, quoting as evidence thereof an excerpt from the court’s written opinion. The only part of the excerpt that is possibly germane is the recitation that “Defendants were given thе opportunity to have their own doctors examine the plaintiff, and they did so, but gave no evidence on the trial.’’ The written opinion of the trial judge is no рart of the record, and is not before us.
(Corker v. Cowen,
What shall constitute the record on aрpeal is purely dependent upon statute. The sections of the statutes upon the subject of appeal specify the papers or dоcuments which the transcript on appeal must contain; and only those should be put in.
(Taylor v. McCormick,
C. S., sec. 7163, enumerating the integral constituents of the record on appeal from a final judgment requires that there be furnished a copy of the notice of appeal, of the judgment-roll and of any bill of exceptions or reporter’s transcript settled, and of all papers, reсords and files designated in the praecipe.
C. S., sec. 6892, prescribing the record on appеal from orders granting or denying motions for new trial, is as follows:
“The judgment-roll and the affidavits, or the records and files in the action, as the case may be, used оn the hearing, with a copy of the order made, shall constitute the record *599 to be used on appeal from the order granting or refusing a new trial, unless motion be made on the minutes of the court, and in that case the judgment-roll and a reporter’s transcript prepared in the manner prescribed by seсtion 6886 of these codes, with a copy of the order, shall constitute the record on appeal.”
And C. S., sec. 6901 declares that the judgment-roll shall cоntain “the pleadings and a copy of the verdict and findings of the court or rеferee, a copy of any order made on demurrer or relating to a change of parties, and a copy of the judgment.” None of these stаtutes makes place for the papers submitted by respondents.
That they рlayed no part in the trial judge’s decision on the motion for new trial, apрears from his certificate that he considered all the records and filеs of said cause as contained in the judgment-roll therein as provided for in C. S., sеe. 6901, as well as all the evidence and exhibits offered and introduced, all instruсtions requested or given and refused by the court upon the trial of said cause, and defendants’ notice of intention to move for a new trial, and the motiоn thereon; and that the same constituted all the records, files and papers submitted to or considered by said judge on said hearing.
If this certificate was erroneous, correction should have been sought below. It cannot first be questioned here; and is, therefore, final and conclusive. Motion denied.
