152 P. 935 | Cal. Ct. App. | 1915
This is an appeal from the judgment taken upon the judgment-roll alone.
Assuming, as claimed by the appellant, that one of the several counts set forth in the complaint is defective in failing to allege the place where the account stated was had, nevertheless, since the court did not find against the appellant on that count, we are at a loss to understand how he can be heard to complain.
Equally without merit is the point that the findings are defective in not finding upon new matter alleged in the answer. One of the counts in the complaint is for the reasonable value of caring for certain horses during a given time, which it is alleged the defendant promised to pay. The answer, in addition to denying this allegation in the language of the complaint, also set forth that the plaintiff agreed with the defendant to take care of the horses for a specified sum. The finding upon this phase of the controversy follows the language of the complaint in accordance with plaintiff's contention; hence the court, by necessary implication, found against the new and inconsistent matter set up in the answer. Aside from this, the appellant supporting his appeal by the judgment-roll alone, it necessarily follows that he has failed to show in this court that any evidence was introduced in proof of such new matter. We will presume, therefore, in favor of the correctness of the judgment and findings, that no evidence upon this phase of the case was in fact presented to the court (Bliss v. Sneath,
Judgment affirmed.
