delivered the opinion of the Court.
This was an action of assumpsit in which, a jury having been waived, there was a finding and judgment by the court for the defendant.
The merits of the case seem to be with appellee.
The bill of exceptions does not show that any exception was taken to either the finding of the court, the overruling of the motion for a new trial, or the judgment. The record therefore presents nothing upon which we can act. Kennedy, Adm’r, v. Ill. Cent. Ry. Co., First Dist. Ill. App., filed Feb. 9th, 1897; St. L., A. & T. H. R. R. Co. v. Dorsey, 68 Ill. 326: Brown v. Clement, 68 Ill. 192; Seibel v. Vaughan, 69 Ill. 257; Trustee v. Meisenheimer. 89 Ill. 151; Grimes v. Butts, 65 Ill. 347.
Although a cause is tried by the court without a jury, unless an exception is taken to the finding, its correctness can not be questioned by an appellate court. Sherman v. Skinner, 83 Ill. 584; Duncan v. Chandler, 5 Ill. App. 499.
Nor does the making and overruling of a motion for now trial take the place of exceptions unless the overruling of such motion be excepted to. Duncan v. Chandler, supra; Brooks v. The People, 11 Ill. App. 422.
The judgment of the Circuit Court is affirmed.
