¶1By the Court,
¶2The defendant moved for a new trial on two grounds: .
¶3First—Accident or surprise, which ordinary prudence could not have guarded against.
¶4Second—Error, in the refusal of the Court to continue the ■cause on the application of the defendant.
¶5There is no statement upon motion for new trial. The transcript contains a series of 'affidavits, which appear to. have been filed by the Clerk at various times between the rendition of the judgment and the hearing of the motion.
¶6Under the provisions of section one hundred and ninety-five of the Practice Act a statement is unnecessary when the motion is made upon affidavits only.' But in such case it is required that the affidavits should be identified by the indorsement of the Judge or Clerk, made at the time of *543the hearing, that they were read or referred to on the hearing.
¶7It is evident that a mere ordinary indorsement of filing is not sufficient to identify the papers as having heen used upon the hearing of the motion. They may have been deposited with the Clerk for other and quite different purposes. We cannot, therefore, consider the affidavits.
¶8Judgment and order affirmed.
