III. PLEADING, EVIDENCE, TRIAL,

AGENCY.

50(5) (Nev.) A complaint alleging that a defendant acquired a part of plaintiff's property under a contract as their attorney, and that a contract with another defendant, whereby latter was to receive a portion of plaintiffs' property, was void in its inception, because fraudulent, and praying for damages for defendants' failure See Principal and Agent. to protect such property from loss, is bad, because it does not state cause of action against both defendants; the defendants being jointly liable, if at all, and the complaint showing on its face that latter defendant had no interest in property, and hence no duty of protecting it from loss.-Walser v.

12 (Or.) Under L. O. L § 7440, notice of lien for clearing and improving land filed within 60 days after the final completion of omitted work was sufficient.-Craig v. Crystal Realty Co., 173 P. 322.

15 (Or.) Under the liberal interpretation to be given to statutes creating a lien, such as L. O. L. § 7439, a substantial compliance with its requirements is essential to validity of notice of lien, and in a suit for its foreclosure the complaint must bring plaintiff within its purview.-Craig v. Crystal Realty Co., 173 P.

999

In suit under L. O. L. § 7439, to foreclose lien for clearing and improving land, evidence held to show that the work done by plaintiff was performed at the request of the owner of the land or by the person in the lawful possession thereof.-Id.

82(3) (Okl.) An order vacating a judgment under Rev. Laws 1910, §§ 5267, 5268, is an interlocutory order, and not a final order from which an appeal will lie.-Gilliam v. Kali-Inla Coal Co., 173 P. 69.

(A) Issues and Questions in Lower Court,

169 (Kan.) On appeal the Supreme Court's jurisdiction is exclusively appellate, for the determination of errors alleged to have been committed in the trial courts, and error cannot be predicated on matters not presented to the trial court; and to uphold constitutionality of Code Civ. Proc. $ 580 (Gen. St. 1915, § 7484), allowing taking of further testimony in trial court, such interpretation must be given as would not confound appellate with original jurisdiction.-Swandt v. Ballentine, 173 P. 926.

204(2) (Cal.App.) In action for death of a passenger in an automobile struck by defendant's train at a crossing, an assignment of error that the absence of gates or barriers at the crossing was not evidence of negligence because defendant, not being the owner of the track in question, was not obliged to maintain barriers at the crossing, will not be considered

in the absence of objection below to such evidence.-Alloggi v. Southern Pac. Co., 173 P.

1117.

dency of motion for trial court to set aside a
judgment entered by default, when a case was
not properly at issue, does not deprive ag-
grieved party of his right to appeal, and he
need not imperil such right by delaying it until
motion is decided.-Clark v. Spruens, 173 P.

206(1) (Mont.) The rule that offer of proof, disclosing what witness would have testified to, must be made, to preserve for review ruling sustaining objection to question, does not apply, where question indicates evidence sought, or where effect of ruling is to exclude all evidence on given subject, under mistaken notion that it is not within issues.-Eby v.

St. 1915, § 3460, held, that defendant requesting Code Civ. Proc. § 572 (Gen.

285 (Kan.) Motion for judgment on the pleadings invokes judgment on questions of law upon pleaded and conceded facts, and judgment thereon is equivalent to ruling on demurrer, and is a ruling on merits of action or defense within Code Civ.

Taylor Mill Co., 173 P. 433. and filing, nearly six weeks after entry of judg ment, of application dispensing with motion, 392 (Idaho) Under Rev.

(D) Contents, Making, and Settlement of Case or Statement of Facts.

CEEDINGS.

485(2) (Or.) Where appeal has been per fected, and stay bond, required by L. O. L.

Certificate of judge that matters embodied in a certain affidavit are matters occurring in the cause and are a "portion" of the record, which was introduced, together with a motion to reopen for further testimony, prior to signing of finding of fact, is insufficient to authorize a review of matters of fact, not purporting to be complete record.-Id.

613(2) (Or.)

520(1) (Okl.) Motions presented to trial court, the rulings thereon, and exceptions thereto, are not a part of the record proper and can only be preserved and presented for review on appeal to Supreme Court by incorporating the same by bill of exceptions or casemade.-Upperman v. Coon, 173 P. 522.

(C) Necessity of Bill of Exceptions, Case, or Statement of Facts.

843 (2) (Wash.) On appeal from order correctly granting new trial on ground that instruction was erroneous, it is unnecessary for appellate court to consider other grounds of motion.-Parkhurst v. Elliott, 173 P. 731.

854(2) (Okl.) Where a cause is reversed and remanded, with instructions to proceed according to Supreme Court's opinion, and trial court renders judgment fairly conforming to opinion and mandate, it will not be disturbed on appeal because trial court gave erroneous reason for its action.-Nance v. Fouts, 173 P. 1038.

854(6) (Cal.App.) Where reason given by trial court for granting a new trial is erroneous, and motion is based on several grounds. the reviewing court is not concluded by the reason so given, but may examine the record When appellant contends there is no evidence, to determine if the new trial should have been assignment is sufficient because of manifest in- granted on any other ground set forth except ability to specify particulars; but, where ap-as to the sufficiency of the evidence, where pellant concedes there is some evidence, partic- conflicting.-Valentine v.
