Geis v. McKenna

Wisconsin Supreme Court

Decided April 5, 1960PublishedCited by 3 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtBrown, J.

The case comes before us without a bill of exceptions. The trial court’s findings of fact stand, therefore, as verities. Davis v. Davis (1951), 259 Wis. 1, 47 N. W. (2d) 338. In the absence of a bill of exceptions, the supreme court is limited to ascertaining whether judgment is sustained by the pleadings and by the findings of fact. Id., State ex rel. Ignasiak v. Franklin (1954), 268 Wis. 295, 67 N. W. (2d) 308; Rode v. Sealtite Insulation Mfg. Corp. (1958), 3 Wis. (2d) 286, 88 N. W. (2d) 345.

Appellants do not contend that the judgment does not come within the issues framed by the pleadings…
