17 Mich. 271

Monnier v. Mizner

Michigan Supreme Court

Decided October 6, 1868

Michigan Supreme Court · decided 1868-10-06

The defendant in error, Mizner, sued the plaintiff in error upon a bond given by him on appeal from a commissioner awarding restitution of certain premises for the nonpayment of rent. The declaration alleges a holding by Monnier from Mizner, under successive demises, on all of which rent was due, (the first lease commencing January 1, 1866, and the last May 1, 1867,) and that the commissioner found that all the rent was due to that date.

Decided 1868-10-06

¶1The Court held that the judgment in the case was supported by the declaration, and that, therefore, the judgment must be affirmed, unless the court could take notice of the facts stated in the order denying the motion for a new trial for the purpose of determining the legal question of the *273right to include in the judgment rent owing before the lease under which the proceedings, were taken.

¶2But, held further, that the recitals in said order were no part of the record in error, and could not supply the want of a bill of exceptions, and consecprently there was nothing before the court to show whether that the eviction was or was not on the last lease alone, and the legal question suggested was, therefore, not in the case.
