Opinion

*577 Mr. Chief Justice Fuller

delivered the opinion of the court.

In this cause, trial by jury was waived by agreement of the parties in writing, duly filed, and the case was tried by the court. But the record discloses no finding upon the facts, either general or special, in accordance with the statute, (B.ev.
