Buchanan v. Halpin

Hart, C. J.,

(after stating the facts). It is sought to uphold the judgment of the circuit court upon the ground that Buchanan did not file any motion for a new trial, and that there is therefore nothing presented for review here, under our rules of practice. We cannot agree with counsel for the defendants in this contention. This court has held that neither a motion for a new trial nor a bill of exceptions is necessary where the error sought to be reviewed appears from the judgment.record itself. Burns v. Harrington, 162 Ark. 162, 257 S. W. 729. In Miller v. Tatum, 170 Ark. 152, 279 S. W.…
