Millgrove School Township v. Peck-Hammond Co.
Millgrove School Township v. Peck-Hammond Co.
Opinion of the Court
This is an appeal from a judgment in appellee’s favor for $1,144.58 in an action brought by it to recover an amount alleged to be due upon a contract for the sale of a heating plant to appellant township. The error relied upon for reversal is “that the court erred in its conclusions of law uppn the special finding of facts”.
An examination of the record discloses that such findings and conclusions of law were announced and filed by the court on February 6, 1914, and, that no exception was taken thereto until February 27, 1914. Section 656 Burns 1914, §626 R. S. 1881, requires that the exception must be taken at the time the decision is made. Both the Supreme Court and this court have repeatedly held that under this section of the statute an exception to conclusions of law on facts found, to save any question for review, must be taken at the time the special findings of fact and conclusions of law are announced and filed. It follows that appellant’s exceptions were not taken in time, and that no question is presented by this appeal. Barner v. Bayless (1893), 134 Ind. 600, 33 N. E. 907, 34 N. E. 502; Radabaugh v.
