Appeal and Error — Time for Perfecting Appeal not Extended by Unnecessary Motion for New Trial After Judgment on Agreed Statement of Facts.
When a cause is tried upon an agreed statement of facts, leaving for the court the sole question of application of the law to such facts, a motion for a new trial is unnecessary and unauthorized by the statute and does not extend the time within which an appeal may be perfected in the Supreme Court, and the time for perfecting such appeal runs from the date judgment is rendered and not from the date of the overruling of such unnecessary and unauthorized motion.
