166 S.W. 363 (Tex. Civ. App. 1914)

Opinion

No. 5320.

March 25, 1914.

Appeal from Bell County Court; W. S. Shipp, Judge.

Action by W. I. Melton against the Southwestern Traction Company. There was verdict for plaintiff, and defendant appeals. Dismissed.

G. M. Felts, of Belton, for appellant. Durrett Dyess and Edmund Heinsohn, all of Temple, for appellee.


This suit was brought by appellee against appellant to recover damages on account of the alleged negligent killing by appellant of a horse belonging to appellee. Notwithstanding it appears from the briefs of the parties and from the record that there was a jury trial resulting in a verdict in behalf of appellee, still the transcript contains no judgment entered thereon, for which reason we have no jurisdiction of' the attempted appeal. See article 2078, R.S. 1911.

It therefore becomes our duty to dismiss the appeal, and it is accordingly so ordered,

Appeal dismissed.
