Opinion of the court.
after a verdict for plaintiff the objection could not avail on a motion
for a new trial.
2. WHAT MTUST APPEAR TO AUTHORIZE'A REVERSAL WHEN THERE
IS NO STATEMENT OF FACTS.-T4o reverse a judgment, in the absence

Kearby & Kearby and Robertson, for defendant in error.

"That in the allegations of plaintiff's petition there is
no sufficient basis for a judgment in this cause."
The facts are stated in the petition in a general way,
whicl might havQ rendered it liable to special exceptions.
Still sufficient allegations are made to constitute a cause of
action, and after verdict it is too late to require a greater
certainty and particularity in the statement of the facts
upon which the suit is founded.
The other objections to the judgment are all obviated
by the omission to bring up in the transcript of the record
a statement of facts. They are embraced in bills of exception
taken to the rulings of the court in admitting and
excluding evidence over the objections of defendant below.

of the court to be reviewed, should bring up a statement
of facts, so that it could be seen that he was thereby prejudiced
in his cause by any error committed by the court in
