Maxwell, J.

¶1This is a motion to strike the petition in error and transcript from the files: first, because no motion for a new trial was filed in the court below; second, no exceptions taken to the final judgment, and, third, because the transcript was not filed “within the time allowed by law for taking and docketing appeals.”

¶2The failure to file a motion for a new trial, while it will prevenían examination of the proceedings occurring on the trial, is-no ground for dismissing a case filed in this court, as the errors complained of may be apparent from the pleadings and judgment. Neither is the second ground of the motion well taken. No exception is necessary to a final judgment. (Morrow v. Sullender, 4 Neb., 375; Black v. Winterstein, 6 Id., 224; Parrat v. Neligh, 7 Id., 459; Jones v. Null, 9 Id., 256; Welton v. Beltezore, 17 Id., 401.)

¶3The third objection is unavailing. Final judgment was rendered on the 24th of December, 1887, and the transci’ipt and petition in error filed in this court December 13, 1888, being within one year from the rendition of the judgment. As an error case it was filed in time. The motion is

¶4Overruled.

The other judges concur.
