Pettit, J.

¶1The appellee sued the appellant; there was a default, and judgment in favor of the appellee against the appellant. The appellant, as he claims, moved and filed an affidavit to set aside the default and allow him to answer-*98This was overruled in special torn. An appeal was taken to the general term.

¶2In the general term, this ruling was assigned for error, and the general term affirmed the action of the special term. An appeal was taken to this court, and the action of the superior court in general term, in affirming the judgment in special term, is assigned for error.

¶3There was no question properly before the superior court in general term, nor is there before us, because the affidavit to set aside the judgment by default was not before that court in general term or in this court by a bill of exceptions. An affidavit to set aside a default is not a part of the record unless made so by a bill of exceptions.

¶4The judgment is affirmed, at the costs of the appellant.
