Lipscomb, J.

¶1There is no hill of exceptions nor statement of facts in the record. This court at the present term, in the case of Cloud v. Smith & Adriance, decided that questions for revision must be presented by a bill of exceptions, or arise from a statement of facts or be otherwise apparent on the record. We see no error in the record. The judgment of the court below is therefore affirmed.
