McClarty v. Penn Mutual Life Insurance

63 S.E. 224, 131 Ga. 724, 1908 Ga. LEXIS 192

Opinion

Evans, P. J.

1. When no motion for a new trial „is made, the evidence should be embodied in the bill of exceptions, or attached as an exhibit thereto, and properly identified, or contained in a brief approved by the trial judge and made part of the record. In a suit' on an insurance policy, where the case is tried on an agreed statement of facts, and a judgment in favor of the defendant is rendered by the court, and the exception is to this judgment, the embodiment in the record of what purports to be a copy of the agreement .signed by counsel is not sufficient, Mann v. Archer, 69 Ga. 767.

2. Without a consideration of the agreed statement of facts upon which the case was tried, this court is unable to review the correctness of the final judgment on the merits; and as there is no. other assignment of error in the bill, of exceptions, an affirmance must necessarily result.
