160 Ark. 226 | Ark. | 1923
Appellant instituted this action to recover possession of a lot of potatoes, the title and right of possession to which was claimed under a mortgage. It is alleged that the potatoes were wrongfully withheld from appellant. by appellee (defendant below), and recovery of damages was also prayed for the detention.
Appellee answered, denying appellant’s allegations of ownership and right of possession, and alleging that the potatoes had been stored in appellee’s warehouse by the grower and owner thereof, and that appellee had a lien for storage charges.
The cause was tried, by consent, before the court sitting as a jury, and judgment was in favor of the appellee, from which an appeal has been prosecuted.
The record entry of the judgment recites that the cause was heard upon the testimony of witnesses, but-there appears in the transcript an agreed statement of facts, upon which counsel for appellant say the case was heard. There is no bill of exceptions in the record, and the agreement concerning the facts can only be brought upon the record by a bill of exceptions or 'by incorporation into the judgment entry. The mere filing of the agreed statement of facts does not make it a part of tbe record. Coonrad v. Anderson, 55 Ark. 354; Kinnanne v. State, 106 Ark. 280; First National Bank of Fort Smith v. Thompson, 124 Ark. 161.
In tlie absence of the testimony upon which the judgment is based, we must assume that there was sufficient evidence to sustain the judgment, which is not inconsistent on its face nor with the issues raised in the pleading.
Judgment affirmed.
