¶1The appellants, as plaintiffs, sought to be relieved from a decree in partition, rendered by the lower court in a suit by the appellees. Their complaint was under section 396, R. S. 1881; section 399, R. S. 1894.
¶2The court overruled appellees’ demurrer to the complaint and granted them additional time in which to file counter affidavits, to. the granting of which time the appellants excepted. Thereafter, and without objection or exception, counter affidavits were filed by the appellees; and rebuttal affidavits, by the appellants. Upon the affidavits so filed the court found for the appellees.
¶3It is first urged by the appellants, that the appellees were precluded by the demurrer and the court’s ruling thereon, and that it was error to admit counter affidavits and a further hearing.
¶4The cases of Nord v. Marty, 56 Ind. 531, and Clandy v. Caldwell, Admr., 106 Ind. 256, are cited as supporting this view.
¶5In each of these cases the demurrer was sustained, and ‘this court held that the demurrer admitted the facts pleaded and presented their sufficiency as upon an agreed statement of facts. The question suggested in the case before us was not in review in either of the cases cited, but the exact question has been repeatedly ruled against the appellants’ view. Lawler v. Couch, 80 Ind. 369; Nash v. Cars, 92 Ind. 216; Parker v. Indianapolis Nat'l Bank, 1 Ind. App. 462.
¶6We are asked to consider the evidence, and having found that there is stubborn conflict upon material questions, we decline to weigh and determine the preponderance. Nash v. Cars, supra; Wells v. Bradley, etc., 3 Ind. App. 278.
¶7In addition to the facts already suggested, as to the absence of exceptions to the introduction of affidavits, the affidavits in the transcript are not brought into the record by bill of exceptions, but of these questions we make no decision.
¶8There is no error in the record, and the judgment of the circuit court is affirmed.
