117 Kan. 353 | Kan. | 1924
The opinion of the court was delivered by
Upon petition for rehearing questions are urged which were argued when the case was presented but not discussed in the opinion. We shall now consider them.
The appellee, the Planters State Bank, argues that in its answer it pleaded that plaintiff had waived his lien for the cash rent for 1922; that the evidence was not brought up, the appeal having been from findings of fact by the court; that the general judgment of the court was in favor of appellee; that there was no finding on the question of waiver; hence the general judgment must be construed as a judgment that the waiver pleaded was established by evidence.
We regard it as well established that when a court sits as a trier of facts and is asked to make findings of fact and does so, in accordance with R. S. 60-2921, he is presumed to make findings of fact upon all questions necessary to sustain the judgment rendered.
The leases contained this provision:
“That no act of either or both parties hereunto shall be construed as an extension of this lease unless the same is reduced to writing by both parties hereto.”
Appellee argues that by this provision in the lease the parties contracted away the statutory effect (R. S. 67-502) of a holding over by the tenant with the assent of the landlord after the termination of the lease. The clause does not have that effect. It applies to acts of one or both parties within the term of the lease.
We are now asked to modify the judgment as between the Planters State Bank and the thresherman with respect to the amount of the thresherman’s lien. We do not regard that question as before us. Neither the bank nor the thresherman appealed from the judgment pertaining to his compensation, and the plaintiff has no interest in it. Hence we decline to deal with that branch of the case.
Other questions suggested need not be discussed. The petition for a rehearing is denied.
