The opinion of the court was delivered by
The parties to this proceeding own adjoining lots on which buildings have been erected that are united by a party wall. By agreement of the parties, a common stairway was to be erected between the buildings, which was to serve as an entrance from the street to the second stories
It is now insisted by the defendant in error that nothing is presented by the record for our determination. Attached to the petition in error is a case-made, which it is argued should not be considered, because it was not settled and signed at the time fixed by the court. When the decree was given; time was asked in which to make a case for the supreme court, and the court granted the application and fixed the time when the case should be made and served, also the time within which amendments should be suggested; and further ordered that the case should be settled and signed on the first day of the succeeding term of court. The case was made and served and the amendments suggested within the prescribed times, but was not presented for settling and signing on the day set for that purpose. When it was presented, counsel for defendant in error objected to the jurisdiction of the court, claiming that Hill, having procured an order fixing the time of settlement, is bound by the terms of the order. The court, for reasons which it deemed sufficient, extended the time for settling and signing the case, but required that five days’ notice should be given to the opposing party. This was done, and in pursuance of that notice the case was settled and signed, both parties being present, although counsel for defendant in error still insisted that the plaintiff in error had forfeited his right to have the case settled and signed.
It was certainly within the power of the court to settle and sign the case, although the time first fixed by its order had expired. When the case is not made and served within the prescribed time, and no extension of time has been granted, the court is without power to act, (Life Insurance Co. v. Koons,
Upon the record presented it is alleged that the judgment and decree of the court is not sustained by the evidence. This question is not before us, for the reason that it is not shown that all the evidence offered on the trial is included in the record. Such a statement is found in the certificate of the case-made, but it has been repeatedly held that this is not sufficient.
“Where a case is made and settled for the supreme court, and the party making it desires that it should be shown that the case contains all the evidence that was introduced on the trial, a statement to that effect should be inserted in the case itself, and not in the certificate of the judge who settles the case.” (Eddy v. Weaver, 37 Kas. 540; Rld. Co. v. Grimes, 38 id. 241; Bartlett v. Feeney, 11 id. 594; Brown v. Johnson, 14 id. 377; Insurance Co. v. Hogue, 41 id. 524; same case, 21 Pac. Rep. 641.)
For a like reason we are precluded from examining the
The judgment will be affirmed.
