Green v. Dyer
Green v. Dyer
Opinion of the Court
The appellee prosecuted this suit as receiver of the insolvent firm of Milton A. Woollen and Charles J. Colgan, under an appointment of the superior court of Marion county, Indiana. The complaint charges that the insolvent firm were wheat dealers at Sandusky, Ohio; the appellant a wheat dealer at Vincennes, Indiana, and that said firm bought of the appellant 42,000 bushels of wheat, to grade No. 2 red winter, in different lots, and by the terms of the contract, all wheat grading.No. 3 at 3 cents less than the contract price, and all above 25 per cent, of the amount that graded as No. 3 was to be accepted at 5 cents below the contract price, and all grading lower than No. 3 was to be sold by said firm and accounted for at the market difference on the day of sale, and the wheat was to be received by said firm at Sandusky weights and inspections; that, pursuant to said contract, the appellant sent to said firm 42,088|-g- bushels, and the firm paid appellant on bills of lading for the amount so sold by him to them; and other averments showing that the wheat was of a lower grade than the contract provided for, and that the firm overpaid appellant on the shipments in the sum of $639.44, for which this suit was prosecuted.
By this showing nothing would be owing the firm from the appellant under this new contract.
Under the issue, as thus formed, the cause was tried by a jury, resulting in a verdict in favor of the appellee. Judgment was rendered on the verdict.
Appellant then filed a motion for a new trial, which was overruled, and this ruling constitutes the assignment of error in this court.
Appellant has waived in argument all of the causes assigned in the motion for a new trial but the second, which cause alleged that the court erred in overruling appellant’s motion to suppress the deposition of L. F. Shepard, taken by the appellee in said cause.
Before the trial of the cause appellant moved to suppress the deposition of said L. F. Shepard, whose evidence was material and important to the appellee, on the ground that no notice was given of the time and place at which the deposition was to be taken ; that a copy of the notice delivered to appellant’s
The record shows that before the trial of the cause the appellant did move to suppress said deposition. The motion, supported by the affidavit of one of the attorneys for the appellant, is copied into the record. It also appears that appellant excepted to the ruling on the motion to suppress, and ten days’ time was given for a bill of exceptions, but it does not appear that the motion was filed. This did not make the motion a part of the record. Barnes v. Jones, 91 Ind. 161; Norton v. State, 106 Ind. 163.
The bill of exceptions in the case intended to save the point under consideration appears at the end of the record immediately preceding the certificate, of the clerk, and in it is inserted in parenthesis the words (here insert said motion and affidavit). In making the record the clerk has not copied the motion and affidavit in the bill of exceptions at the point indicated, nor in no way referred to the motion and affidavit by page or line where the same could be found, and there is no memorandum, recital or file mark to indicate when the bill of exceptions was filed, or indeed that it ever had been filed in the cause, without considering other objections of the appellee.
It is clear that the point argued by the appellant as to the alleged error of ths court in overruling the motion to suppress is not saved in the record. Ve can not, therefore, consider that question. Crumley v. Hickman, 92 Ind. 388;
