Per Curiam,

Mason, Chief Justice.

We find no regular assignment of errors in this case, but from ‍​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‍the brief argument of the plaintiff in error, it appears that the only error complained of, is, that the court should have decided the issue upon the demurrer before they ‍​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‍compelled the defendant below to go to trial upon the pleas. Had such been the’ fact, it would have been error. But we cannot find that the record shows any ‍​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‍such thing to have been done. We cannot find that the defendant ever called up his second demurrer. Nor was there any trial upon the pleas; but a judgment ‍​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‍was entered by agreement. Even had there been a trial upon the pleas without noticing the demurrer, the defendant could not now complain, unless he objected at the time. Assenting ‍​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‍to a trial upon the pleas would have been a waiver of the demurrer.

Judgment affirmed.
