Adams v. Hill
Adams v. Hill
Opinion of the Court
This was a money rule against the sheriff, involving priority of liens. The trial judge, acting without the intervention of a jury, rendered judgment against the plaintiff,
1. “Where there is a conflict between the bill of exceptions and the transcript of the record, the conflict must be determined by inspection of the transcript.” James v. Cooledge, 129 Ga. 860 (4) (60 S. E. 182).
2. “This being a direct bill of exceptions assigning as erroneous a judgment rendered by the trial judge without a jury, and certain rulings made by him during the trial; and the bill of exceptions neither containing nor purporting to contain all of the material evidence introduced at the trial, and no brief of the same having been made and approved by the judge so as to become a part of the record, the evidence has not been brought to this court in the manner prescribed by law, and can not be considered. The fact that the bill of exceptions sets forth, by recital and by exhibit, some of the material evidence, will not suffice.”
3. “All of the errors assigned necessarily involve a considera- ’ tion of the evidence, and it being impossible without reference thereto to determine whether there was error (if any at all) which would require or warrant a reversal of the judgment, there is no question legally before this court for adjudication.” Kirby v. Lippincott, 98 Ga. 426 (25 S. E. 267). See also Ingram v. Clarke, 96 Ga. 777 (22 S. E. 334), and cit.
Judgment affirmed.
