““. . . search for one or more of the assigned errors to which the doctrine might be applicable, and then analyze the evidence and construe the admitted documents with a view of ascertaining both whether some error has been committed and whether appellant has assigned that particular error on appeal. Such effort is not within the accepted function of the court.” Ecker v. Fuchs (1959), 129 Ind. App. 555, 567 , 159 N. E. 2d 134, 139 .”
8 later decisions quote this exact passage““As applied to specification No. 1 of the Motion for a New Trial, to wit: ‘The decision is not sustained by sufficient evidence.’ It is respectfully submitted that there is no evidence whatsoever that could by any stretch of the imagination be deemed sufficient to sustain a finding by the Court against appellant, Della Parsley, and the motion for a new trial should have been sustained.
