90 P. 332 | Ariz. | 1907
— This action was brought by Robert Geddes to recover salary alleged to be due him from the defendant for acting as superintendent of its mines. At the conclusion of the testimony in the case, the trial court directed a verdict for the plaintiff, and upon such verdict entered judgment against the defendant. From this judgment the defendant has appealed.
There are four assignments of error, as follows: “ (1) That the court erred in admitting and rejecting evidence; (2) that the court erred in charging, directing and instructing the jury to return a verdict; (3) that the evidence does not sustain the judgment on the verdict and is contrary to the law in the case; (4) that the court erred in denying and overruling motion for new trial and to set aside judgment.”
These assignments of error are insufficient for the purpose of a review of this case. Prescott Nat. Bank v. Head, 11 Ariz. 213; 90 Pac. 328; Charouleau v. Shields, 9 Ariz. 73, 76 Pac. 821; Ward v. Sherman, 7 Ariz. 277, 64 Pac. 434. If the attempt made in the brief to elaborate the first assignment be considered as sufficiently specific to obtain consideration, a further obstacle rests upon the fact that the evidence in the case is not before us. A “statement of facts” which appears to have been signed by counsel is printed in the abstract. This statement, not having been signed by the judge, cannot be considered as a statement of the facts in the case. Meyers v. Farmers’ etc. Bank, 7 Ariz. 67, 60 Pac. 880; City of Tombstone v. Reilly, 4 Ariz. 102, 33 Pac. 823; Tietjen v. Snead, 3 Ariz. 196, 24 Pac. 324; Smith v. Blackmore, 3 Ariz. 349, 29 Pac. 15. If this “statement of facts” be taken as a summary of portions of the evidence, it does not appear therefrom that any of the rulings of the court were erroneous. We will not make an excursion into the original transcript of the reporter’s notes. “The ab
Not having the entire evidence before us, we cannot ascertain whether there was sufficient conflict therein to render erroneous the court’s direction of the verdict.
The judgment is affirmed.
