1Opinion of the CourtBeck, J.

I. The defendant insists in argument that this cause cannot be considered for the reason that no transcript of the record has been filed. Under our practice this objec*631tion must be raised by motion, and not after submission upon tbe argument. It may be further said that a transcript was filed before the cause was finally submitted.
