GRACE v. OLD DOMINION GARMENT CO.

(6 Div. 803.)

(Court of Appeals of Alabama.

June 30, 1925.

Rehearing Denied Aug. 4, 1925.)

Matthews & Morrow, of Birmingham, for appellant.

Cabaniss, Johnston, Cocke & Cabaniss and Brewer Dixon, all of Birmingham, for appellee.

RICE, J.

This was a suit by appellant (plaintiff in the court below') against appellee, claiming an amount due as attorney’s fees, for services rendered. Erom the judgment in his favor, appellant brings this appeal. In fhe view we have taken of the case, it is unnecessary to state or to discuss the evidence.

The principal • insistence of error made by tlie appellant is as to the action of the trial court in overruling his motion for a new trial. Neither the motion nor the judgment thereon is incorporated in the bill of exceptions, as is required by statute, and no exception to the ruling on same is presented to us. We are of course required to follow the decisions of the Supreme Court (Code 1923, § 7318), and under the authority of Stover v. State, 204 Ala. 311, 85 So. 893, and other decisions of like import, we must decline to consider and pass upon the ruling complained of.

Under the rule all assignments of error not argued and insisted upon are waived. Accordingly, the only other assignment that requires mention here is that by appellant numbered 4 which is in words as follow's: “The lower court erred in giving the written charges requested by the appellee and marked given by the court.” An examination of the record reveals that there were given, at appellee’s request, five separate written charges. Under another and well known rule, if any one of these charges was properly given, appellant can take nothing by his said assignment of error No. 4. Charge No. 4, given at appellee’s request, we think obviously and patently stated a correct proposition of law, and w'as due to be given to the jury. In fact, appellant tacitly concedes as much by refraining from criticism of the said charge in his brief filed on this appeal. The lack of error involved in the giving of appellee’s said written charge 4,' without our passing upon the other written charges given at its request, produces a like lack of error in appellant’s assignment No. 4.

What W'e have said above disposes of all the rulings complained of in the brief for appellant, and, there appearing no prejudicial error in the record, the judgment must be affirmed.

Affirmed.
