OPINION OP THE COURT.
ROBERTS, C. J. —Appellee has filed a motion to strike the bill of exceptions from the files in this case on two grounds, (1) Because appellant failed to give appellee five days’ notice of his intention of applying to the judge of the court in which the cause was tried to sign and settle the bill of exceptions, and, (2) that the said bill of exceptions was not signed and sealed by the judge of the court in which said cause was tried.
1 Both grounds of the motion are seemingly well taken. Sec. 26, chap. 57, S. L. 1907, in so far as material, reads as follows:
‘‘After such trial any party to the action may require the court stenographer to transcribe the whole or any part of his stenographic notes, and when the stenographer shall have transcribed bis notes be shall file the same in the office of the clerk of the court in which the action in which they were taken was tried, and thereupon, either party to said cause desiring to have the same or other matters under section 25 of this act embodied in a bill of exceptions may give five (5) days’ notice to the opposite party of bis intention of applying to the judge of the court in which said cause was tried, to nave the judge of said court sign and seal the same in proper form, as a bill of exceptions. Upon sncli notice, unless said transcript or other matters tendered shall be shown to be Incorrect, and in tliat case after its correction, the judge or his successors, shall settle, sign and deliver the said transcript as a bill of exceptions, adding thereto such additional matters properly sought to be added.”
2 The record fails to show, as it should, that Ibe required notice was given. Further, appellee, by the affidavit of bis attorney, shows that no notice of any kind or character was served upon him by appellant. This case was tried to a jury, and the testimony,- rulings of the court, objections made and exceptions taken, on tbe trial, could ouly be brought into the record by being incorporated into a bill of exceptions, and such bill of exceptions, under ihe statute, (sec. 26, chap. 57, S. L. 1907, supra) must be signed by the “Judge of the court in which the cause was tried.” The record filed in this court fails to show that the said bill of exceptions was signed by any judge. Therefore, for the reasons stated, the motion of appellee to strike the said bill of exceptions from the file will be sustained.
3 Appellee’s motion to strike the assignment of errors from the files, because of appellant’s failure to erve tbe same upon his couns'el, as required by sec. 21, chap. 57, S. L. 1907, will be denied, because appellee admits service upon his counsel of a copy of the brief filed byv appellant, which said brief contained a copy of said assignment of errors, and it is so ordered.
