““It is plain if we are to' do no more than to express our disapproval of the enlargement of the time within which to settle a bill of exceptions by the trial court in the absence of any showing of cause and proceed with the consideration of the merits of the case, that then, too, the statute may as well be repealed and all rules upon the subject abolished.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Becker v. Smith““The statute, sec. 269.45, authorizes the entry of such an order only on good cause shown. It is not a favor to be granted to a litigant as a matter of grace. The statute limits the time within which a bill of exceptions may be settled.””
