Schwandt v. Ballentine
Schwandt v. Ballentine
Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the court was delivered by
The petition for a rehearing makes the criticism that the court’s opinion did not discuss the effect of a recent survey of the land boundaries and the location of the public road involved in this lawsuit. This survey was made after the case was tried in the district court, and a copy of the surveyor’s report was filed in this court, but the plaintiff made no mention of it in his brief. The court invited him to suggest what significance can be attached to that new survey in this appeal which seeks a review of errors alleged to have been made by the trial court. Plaintiff now cites section 580 of the civil code. That code provision does not help to determine the question whether the trial court committed error, and on appeal that is the only matter which this court can consider. The trial court committed no error. It correctly decided the case on the evidence presented to it. Viewed in the light of the constitution,
The petition for a rehearing is denied.

- OPINION DENYING A REHEARING. SYLLABUS BY THE COURT. Jurisdiction op Supreme Court — Matters Reviewable on Appeal. On appeal the supreme court’s jurisdiction is exclusively appellate — for the consideration and determination of errors alleged to have been committed in trial courts — and error cannot be predicated on matters not presented to the trial court; and, to uphold the constitutionality of section 580 of the civil code, such interpretation of it must be given as will not confound the appellate jurisdiction of the supreme court with'its original jurisdiction.
