1Opinion of the CourtEvans, J.

This appeal is upon the record proper, no bill of exceptions being incorporated in the transcript.(1) It does not appear what, if any, ruling or order the trial court made upon the motion in arrest of judgment. On the assumption that said motion was in writing, and hence an exception automatically given by the statute upon the ruling of the court thereon, the order or ruling of the court should also be made to appear by the record proper.- — Acts 1915, p. 598; Tom Moran’s Case, infra, 73 South. 748. See, also, Taylor’s Case, 112 Ala. 69, 20 South. 848; Hampton’s Case, 133 Ala. 180, 32 South.…
