26 Ind. App. 479 | Ind. Ct. App. | 1901
The complaint does not state any cause of action against Irvin Bader, and appellees concede that the findings and conclusions of law do not authorize any judgment against him. The complaint states a cause of action against Isolene L. Bader. The objection that it seeks to enforce a married woman’s contract concerning lands in which the husband did not join is not well taken, because the complaint does not disclose coverture.
Upon the special finding of facts, the court stated three conclusions of law, numbered one, two, and three. The record recites: “Defendants separately except to the conclusions of law, which exceptions are by the court overruled, and the defendants except.” It has often been held that such an exception presents no question unless all the conclusions of law are bad. . In the case at bar no objection is made to the first conclusion of law, and it is certainly not erroneous. Royse v. Bourne, 149 Ind. 187; Clause, etc., Co. v. Chicago, etc., Bank, 145 Ind. 682.
It is true error is assigned “that the court erred in each conclusion of law on its findings.’.’ The question presented by this assignment of error is not the question presented to the trial court by the exception to the conclusions of law. The exception in the court below was joint. “Where the objection or exception in the court below, or assignment of error in this court, is joint as to several rulings or acts of the court, the same will fail unless valid as to all of such rulings or acts.” Saunders v. Montgomery, 143 Ind. 185, and cases cited.
Judgment reversed as to Irvin Bader, and affirmed as to Isolene L. Bader.
