Pannell, Judge.

1. Where, upon a hearing relating to the vacating of a judgment based ‍‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​‌​‍upon facts not appearing on the face of the record, the judgment is vacated upon “evidence presented by both” parties, and there is no transcript of ‍‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​‌​‍the proceedings or brief of the evidence relating to this hearing, the trial judge must be affirmed.

2. Where, in a suit upon a contract, the defendant answers ‍‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​‌​‍but files no plea of payment, and alleged evidence of payments is admitted without objection, it is too late to complain of the admission of such ‍‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​‌​‍evidence for the first time in this court.

3. The evidence upon the trial of the case, while conflicting and sometimes vague, was sufficient nevertheless to authorize ‍‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​‌​‍the verdict in favor of the defendants.

Judgment affirmed.

Jordan, P. J., and Deen, J., concur.
