35 Ind. App. 590 | Ind. Ct. App. | 1905
The appellant sued the appellees, Thomas W. Cage and Mary Cage, for the recovery of possession of certain land, and to quiet the appellant’s alleged title thereto. It is assigned that the court erred in overruling the appellant’s demurrer to the separate answer of Mary Cage.
Counsel for appellees direct attention to the failure of the appellant to comply with clause five of rule twenty-two of this court, with reference to this answer, the allegations of which are not. shown in appellant’s brief with sufficient fullness to inform us as to the character and substance of the pleading. The court overruled the appellant’s motion for a new trial, based upon the alleged reasons that the court erred in directing the jury to return a verdict for the appellees, and that the verdict was not sustained by sufficient evidence. For a proper decision of these reasons for a new trial, it would be necessary to consider the evidence; but counsel for the appellant have failed to present in their brief any statement of so much of the record as would fully present the error and exception relied on, or any recital of the evidence in narrative form, so as to present the substance
Appeal dismissed.
