    Bills oe Exception. — Where the bill of exceptions fails to show that appellant objected to the ruling of the court in refusing to give instructions asked by him, and fails to set out the instructions asked for by appellee, but sets out the declarations of law made by the court, without showing at whose instance they were made, the judgment will be affirmed. >
    
      Appeal from Pulastí Gircuit Court.
    
    Hox. John Whytooic, Circuit Judge.
    Gallagher, Newton $ Hempstead, for appellant.
    
      JB. S. Johnson, for appellees.
   McClüRé, O. J.

It appears from the record that- one W. A. Powell became the guest, or lodger, of Henry & Co., who were keepers of a hotel, at the city of Little Rock. During Powell’s stay in the city, his hill run up to sixty-five dollars, and he gave Henry & Co., a draft on Gibson & Helmer, for the amount of his bill, which was sent to them, at Louisville, and protested for nonpayment.

It also appears that Gibson & Helmer are dealers in, and manufacturers of safes, and that Powell, during the time ho contracted the board-bill, was soliciting orders for the sale of safes manufactured by the defendants. After the protest of the draft, drawn by Powell, on the defendants, Henry & Oo. commenced a suit by attachment against Gibson & Helmer, for the board-bill of Powell, before a justice of the peace, and one J. P. Jones, as debtor of the defendants, was garnisheed. At the hearing, before the justice of the peace, the appellants obtained judgment against the defendants for $65 00 and costs, and also against J ones, who was garnisheed.

From this judgment Gibson & Helmer appealed to the circuit eourt of Pulaski county. At the hearing, in the circuit court, the cause was submitted to the court, sitting as a-jury, and it found for the appellees. A motion for a new trial was made on the following grounds:

First. Because the verdict and finding of the judge, sitting as a jury, are contrary to the evidence.

Second. Because the verdict’ and findings of the judge, sitting as a jury, are contrary to law.

Third. Because the court refused to declare the law of the case, as asked for by the plaintiffs.

Fourth. Because the court found the law of the case, -as asked for by the defendants.

The motion for a new trial was overruled. The bill of exceptions, in this case, sets out the evidence and the instructions asked by the appellants, but does not show that the appellants excepted to the refusal of the court to declare the law, as asked by the appellants. Hor is this the only defect. The declarations of law,.asked by the appellants, are set out at length, but the declarations of law, asked by the defendants, are not set out in the bill of exceptions at all; nor does it appear that the appellants excepted to any declaration of law asked by the appellees. The bill of exceptions sets forth a declaration of law, made by the court; whether at the instance of the appellees or appellants, we are unable to determine; nor was there any exceptions made to the declaration made by the court.

The judgment is affirmed.
