State v. Keatley

Missouri Court of Appeals

Decided April 6, 1886

Missouri Court of Appeals · decided 1886-04-06

<p>Exceptions. — An unsigned bill of exceptions filed in an appellate court-presents nothing for review.</p>

Appeal dismissed · Decided 1886-04-06

Lewis, P. J.,

¶1delivered the opinion of the court.

¶2The record in this cause consists of what purports to be a bill of exceptions, and nothing more. But it is a nullity for that purpose, since it does not appear to have been signed by the judge before whom the proceedings were had, or, in fact, by any person. A clerk’s memorandum states that it was “ filed and signed; ” but says nothing of who signed it. Even if the paper were properly authenticated as a bill of exceptions,' it would present nothing for our review. The case ivas dismissed on motion, and a motion for a new trial was afterwards overruled. But no exception to the ruling of the court was tendered on either occasion.

¶3The appeal is dismissed.

All the judges concur.
