Pippin v. Perry
Pippin v. Perry
Opinion of the Court
“This bill of exceptions, without the motion for new trial and the ruling thereon, was presented to me on June 1, 1920, more than 90 *583 days after the ease was tried; the motion for a now trial and tho ruling theroon was added to the bill and as amended the hill was presented on June 24, 1920.
“Eiled in my office Dec. 4, 1920.
“C. W. Young, Clerk.”
It is manifest that the matter set out over the signature of the presiding judge is the recital of a past fact or act; not the memorial of indorsement required by the statute (section 3019) as the exclusive means for evidencing the fact and the date of presentation contemplated by the statute. Box v. Sou. Ry. Co., 184 Ala. 598, 64 South. 69. The motion to strike, to entirely eliminate, what purports to be a bill of exceptions in this transcript, must be, and it is, granted. If the bill of exceptions, as the basis for review of the motion for new trial (not the main trial), had been indorsed by the presiding judge as presented on June 24, 1920, it would then have served the purposes for a review of the action of the court in overruling the motion for new trial which action was taken March 27, 1920, within 90 days before June 24, 1920. There is, in short, no indorsement of presentation on June 24, 1920, or on any other date that was within 90 days of the date of overruling the motion for new trial.
The judgment is affirmed.
Affirmed.
