Walker v. Burbridge

Decided July 1, 1856

Texas Supreme Court · decided 1856-07-01

Error from Gonzales. Tried below before the Hon. Fielding Jones. Suit on a draft by defendant in error against plaintiff in error. Answer of payment, and interrogatories propounded to plaintiffs to prove payments. Answers taken before a Commissioner for Texas in New Orleans, denying payments. No action on the answers, except that they were read in evidence by the plaintiffs, apparently without objection.

Decided 1856-07-01

Lipscomb, J.

¶1The brief of the plaintiff in error, in this case, presents the same point decided in the case of Pennell & Lovett v. Casey & Reese, No. 857. But it was not taken in the Court below. At the close of the record, immediately preceding the Clerk’s authentication of the record, an exception appears in the transcript, but it does not show when filed, nor whether it was presented to the Court. It ought not to have *651been regarded by the Clerk as a part of the record ; as it appears on the transcript, it is most likely it was placed among the papers of the file, after judgment. The case above cited was affirmed without giving the damages, because the exception was fairly presented to the Court below. This is affirmed with ten per cent, damages for delay.

¶2Affirmed with damages.
