¶1The record does not show either the facts or the evidence upon which the court acted. Hence, upon the authority of Skiff v. The State of Iowa, 2 Iowa, 550; and State of Iowa v. Utley, 13 id. 593, the judgment must be reversed. It becomes unnecessary that we should examine the other objections made to the proceedings.
¶2Reversed.
