Mills v. Thursby
Mills v. Thursby
Opinion of the Court
The new case, so far as it abridges the voluminous statement of the evidence contained in the 'one settled by the referees, and presents, in a concise form, so much of the facts as are essential to an understanding of the exceptions taken upon the trial, is a proceeding which we have approved. If correctly prepared with the view stated, it contains everything which either party can need for the pur
That part of the new case which embraces the special fitid- . ing of facts by the general term must be omitted. This court cannot, in this class of cases, regard any finding of facts except such as shall be stated by the referees according to the provisions of the Code.
The referees in this case did not state any facts as found by them. The opinion annexed, though it refers argumentatively and in a general way to the conclusions of fact and law at which the referees arrived, is not such a paper as is contemplated by the Code.
We cannot review conclusions of fact, and there were no exceptions taken to the final decision of the referees, so as to raise a question of law for our consideration. '
Neither party should have costs against the other upon this motion.
