1Opinion of the Court

Ladd, C. J.- —

1 The appellees in an additional abstract, designated' by them an “amendment,” set out portions of the evidence, averring these to be a part of the record. If so, then the evidence must somehow have been properly preserved, and they cannot be permitted to raise the point that a transcript was not filed within six months from the entry of final decree. Connors v. Railway Co., 74 Iowa, 383. And it was not necessary to take an exception to the decree in order to have a hearing de novo. Dicken v. Morgan, 59 Iowa, 157.
