This action was brought in the county court of Custer county by the defendants in error against the plaintiffs in error to recover the sum of $575. An attachment was issued against the property of the plaintiffs in error, who made a motion supported by affidavits to dissolve the same. This motion on the hearing was overruled and the attachment sustained, and twenty days given the plaintiffs in error to prepare a bill of exceptions. The bill was prepared and signed by the judge and filed in the district court, where, upon motion of the attorneys for the defend
“ State of Nebraska, 1 Custer County.}
“ I, John Reese, county judge of Custer county, Nebraska, do hereby certify that the foregoing is a true and correct copy of all the evidence filed and considered in the hearing on motion to discharge the attachment. in said cause, and I hereby allow the foregoing bill of exceptions.
“Dated this 8th day of April, 1889.
“[seal.] John Reese,
“County Judge.”
The transcript was filed April 8, 1889. The motion is as follows: “ The defendants move the court to strike from the files of this cause the pretended bill of exceptions, for the reason that the same is improperly filed in this action and because the same was not made and signed as required by law, and because same was made and filed in this action after the petition in error was filed and after summons in error was issued and returned, and because the same is not made a part of the transcript and record filed in this case.” It will be observed that the motion on behalf of the defendants in error is very general in its terms. The grounds are, “ That it was not made and signed as required by law.”
In what respect there had been a failure to comply with the law we are not informed. This is a technical motion made upon technical grounds, and should itself be free from fault. It should specifically point out the defect complained of, and where it fails to do so it should be overruled, unless there is a total omission of some essential requirement of the law, such as the. failure of the judge to sign the bill. Neither are the specific objections in the
Reversed and remanded.
