Foreclosure of lien. Before Judge Butt. Muscogee superior court. November term, 1894. Affidavit was made to foreclose a landlord’s special lien; and issue was taken by counter-affidavit. Under tbe evidence and charge of the court, the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. Without moving for a new trial, defendant brought a bill of exceptions with the assignment of error quoted in the head-note.

1Opinion of the CourtSimmons, C. J.

A bill of 'exceptions which does not complain of any ruling or decision by the trial judge, and contains no assignment of error except the following: “And the defendant assigns said verdict and judgment as error, the same being contrary to law,” is palpably without merit. As has been repeatedly ruled, a verdict cannot be thus reviewed in the Supreme Court. ■ Judgment affirmed.
