Opinion

No. 4338.

January 17, 1938. Rehearing Denied February 28, 1938.

Appeal from District Court, Lincoln County; Numa C. Frenger, Judge.

C.C. McCulloh, of Santa Fe, and H.B. Hamilton, of Santa Rosa, for appellant.

John E. Hall, of Carrizozo, for appellee.


The appellant (plaintiff below) filed an action of replevin to recover possession of certain cattle. The case was tried to the court and resulted in a judgment for plaintiff, but for only a part of such cattle. The plaintiff appealed.

No findings of fact were requested or made by the court. No ruling made during the progress of the trial was excepted to or objected to by the plaintiff. There was a general exception in the body of the judgment.

The court had jurisdiction of the subject matter and of the parties and there was no fundamental error. Under these circumstances there is no question for this court to review. Stidd v. Marks, 36 N.M. 188, 10 P.2d 1103; Reagan v. Dougherty, 40 N.M. 439, 62 P.2d 810. The judgment of the district court is affirmed.

It is so ordered.

SADLER, BICKLEY, and ZINN, JJ., concur.

HUDSPETH, C.J., did not participate.
