Eau Claire Lumber Co. v. Howard

76 Mo. 517 | Mo. | 1882

Henry, J.

This was a suit in attachment, which, on motion of defendant, was dismissed for alleged irregularities in the filing of the affidavit and bond, and issuance of the writ of attachment. By an agreement of record, appellant was allowed thirty days after the adjournment of court within which to file a bill of exceptions, but nothing in the bill of exceptions or record proper shows when the bill was. filed or when the court adjourned, or that the bill of exceptions was filed at all, except that it may be inferred from the clerk’s certificate that it was part “of the record in the above cause, as the same appears in my office.5’ "We cannot, therefore, consistently, with former rulings of this court, consider the bill of exceptions, but are confined in our examination of the case to the record proper, and as by that the proceedings appear to have been regular, the judgment will be reversed and the cause remanded.

All concur.
