prepared the opinion for the court.
*72This is an appeal from a decree settling certain water rights, and from ata order overruling' appellant’® motion for a new trial.
1. In appellant’s brief we find tbe following' statement: “The only question presented for considleration by the record is the sufficiency of the evidence to sustain the findings as made. There is no question of law presented for consideration.” The evidence which appellant claims is insufficient is contained in what purports to be a statement on motion for a new trial, which is not in any way or manner certified to this court. The clerk’s certificate to the transcript is in the following language: “I, J. P. Cone, clerk of the district court of the Fourth judicial district of the state of Montana, in and for the county of Ravalli, do hereby certify that the transcript on appeal herewith submitted, wherein Rees Powell is appellant and Albert May et al. are respondents, to be a true, full and correct copy of the judgment roll in said action as it appears on file in my office.”
Section 1196, Code of Civil Procedure, pirovides that “the pleading's, a copy of the verdict of the jury, or finding of the court, or referee, all bills of exceptions taken and/filed, all orders, matters and proceedings deemed excepted to without bill of exceptions, and a copy of any order made on demurrer, or relating to a change of parties, and a copy of the judgment” constitute the judgment roll. The statement on motion for a new trial is therefore no part of the judgment roll at all.
Section 1738, Code of Civil Procedure, provides that “on an appeal from an order granting or refusing a newi trial, the appellant must furnish the court with a copy of the notice of appeal, of the order appealed from, and of the papers designated in Section 1176 of this Code.” Section 1176 provides: “The judgment roll, and the affidavits, or bill of exceptions or statement, as the case may be, used on the hearing, with a copy of the order made, shall constitute the record to be used' on appeal from the order granting or refusing a new trial.” Section 1739, Code of Civil Procedure, provides: “The copies provided in the last three sections must be certified to be correct by the clerk or the attorneys.”
*73The statement on motion for a new trial, not being certified to this court by the clerk of the coiirt below to be a correct copy of the original on file in said court, cannot be considered by this court, on this hearing. This leaves a record consisting only of the judgment roll, which contains no evidence at all. We therefore are unable to consider the point raised as to the sufficiency of the evidence.
2. Again, the. record discloses that the order overruling the motion for a new trial was made on the 3d day of December, 1900. Notice of appeal from this order was served on the 6th day of April, 1901. Appeals fromi orders granting or refusing new trials must be taken within sixty days from the date of the order appealed from. (Section 1723, Code of Civil Procedure, Laws of 1899, p. 147.) Inasmuch as more than sixty days had elapsed from the entry of the order to the giving notice of appeal, appellant’s appeal from the order refusing the motion for a new trial must stand dismissed.
The respondents in the case have not appeared in this court, and therefore we have considered it our .duty to investigate the record, and ascertain whether the case is properly before us for hearing.
No errors in law being charged or asserted, and the record presenting an appeal only from the judgment, we advise that the same be affirmed.
For the reasons, stated in the foregoing opinion the judgment appealed from is affirmed.
