105 So. 398 | Ala. Ct. App. | 1925
The trial was had June 18, 1923, and judgment rendered June 24, 1923. Appeal was taken November 21, 1924. Bill of exceptions was presented September 10, 1924, and signed by the presiding judge December 6, 1924. Motion is here made to strike the bill of exceptions, The Code of 1923 became effective August 17, 1924. The remedy by appeal is distinctive and statutory and all appeals taken are governed by the terms of the statute in force at the time the appeal is taken. While not entirely in point, attention is called to the recent case of U.S. Cast Iron Pipe Co. v. Williams (Ala. Sup.)
There being no bill of exceptions, charges based upon the evidence given or refused by the court will not here be reviewed; a state of facts being presumed to justify the court's ruling. Morgan v. Embry,
The pleas of defendant, to which demurrers were interposed and overruled, were in bar of any recovery. The plaintiff having recovered substantial damages, it must be held that, if error occurred in overruling demurrers to these pleas, such error was without injury. Morris v. Bragan,
The above rule is applicable to the rulings of the court in sustaining defendant's demurrer to plaintiff's replications. The replications claimed no additional element of damage, and all damages to which he was entitled were available to him under the original complaint.
We find no reversible error in the record, and the judgment is affirmed.
Affirmed.
