delivered the opinion of the court.
In this case a judgment was regularly rendered for the plaintiff, and twelve days after the rendition of the same, and without leave of court, a motion was filed for a new trial.
The motion was overruled. The statute provides that all motions for new trials or in arrest of judgment shall be made within four days after the trial, if the term shall so long con-tinue, and if not, then before the end of the term. (2 W. S. 1059, § 6.)
Under the above section the uniform course of decision has been, that unless the motion is filed within the four days prescribed, no writ of error or appeal will lie’from the judgment of the court overruling the same.
