Prom this judgment he appealed to this court, hut there is neither a statement of facts nor bill of exceptions to be found in the record; nor did he appear by counsel, and no brief was filed for him, so there is nothing before the court hut fundamental errors, if any can be found. No .such errors appear in the record, for which reason the judgment of the court below must be affirmed.
