Baldwin, J. concurring.

This is a suit in equity, and the only error assigned is that there are no findings to support the judgment. The case of Walker v. Sedgwick (5 Cal. 192) is directly in point, and to sustain the position of the appellant it would be necessary to overrule that case. If the question were presented for the first time, it would require no argument to satisfy us that the statute was intended to have a uniform operation; but there is some plausibility in a different interpretation, and such interpretation having been adopted, we are disposed to act upon it. The view taken was that the one hundred and seventy-ninth and one hundred and eightieth sections of the Practice Act were to be construed together, and that the provisions of the latter were to be limited in their application to cases embraced by the former. The error of' this view is not so apparent as to induce us to establish a new rule upon the subject; but the Act of 1861, regulating appeals, changes the construction. Since the passage of that act it is necessary that' the practice in this respect should be uniform. This, however, has no effect upon the present *449appeal; but it does not follow that when there are findings they are to be disregarded. The contrary has always been held by this Court, as an examination of the reports will abundantly show. (See Wheeler v. Hays, 3 Cal. 284; McHenry v. Moore, 5 Id. 90; Dewey v. Bowman, 8 Id. 145; Ortman v. Dixon, 13 Id. 33.)

Judgment affirmed.
