Dolsons Inc. v. Sheridan Stove Mfg. Co.
Dolsons Inc. v. Sheridan Stove Mfg. Co.
Opinion of the Court
Appellee brought this suit against appellant, Dolsons, Incorporated, to recover $828.49, the purchase price for certain stoves alleged to have been sold and delivered by appellee to appellant. Appellant admits the purchase and price to be paid, but alleges that the stoves were not such as ap-pellee represented and warranted them to be; that after it had sold some of said stoves, $316.20 worth, it discovered that said stoves were not such as it bought, and not fit for its trade; that thereupon it stored the remainder of said stoves, since the 18th day of November, 1911; that such storage was and is worth $5 per month; that it paid out $151.20 for freight and $15 for drayage on said stoves; that it tenders the stoves still unsold back to plaintiff, and prays for $30.28 balance due it, after deducting the $316.20 for which it sold a part of said stoves. Appellee by supplemental petition denied all the material allegations of appellant’s answer. The case was tried before a jury. After both parties had introduced their evidence, respectively, upon motion of plaintiff, the court instructed a verdict for plaintiff for the sum sued for, and verdict and judgment was rendered and entered accordingly.
On October 5, 1914, in due time, appellee filed its motion to strike out appellant’s bill of exceptions and the purported statement of facts filed in this court in this case. The reasons assigned why said statement of facts should be stricken out are: First, because said statement is in question and answer form, and not in narrative, as required by law, and is not an agreed statement of facts; second, because said statement contains a great mass of matter which s.hould not be included in a statement of facts, consisting of excluded testimony, exceptions, objections, and argument of attorneys, which should never be included in a statement of facts; third, because at the time the trial judge approved said statement he was in the state of California, and without the jurisdiction of the state of Texas, and therefore had no authority to judicially approve said statement as a statement of facts in this case.
*665 But, should we conclude to overlook appellant’s failure to file proper briefs, still we are unable to review any of appellant’s assignments in the absence of a statement of facts and bills of exception, as each and all of them relate to proceedings of the trial court, which can be reviewed only by reference to a statement of the facts proven or to bills of ■exception.
In the absence of a statement of facts and hills of exception, we must presume that the evidence was sufficient to support the judgment entered by the trial court. Therefore the judgment of the court below is affirmed.
Affirmed.
