Description
in a case tried by the court of first instance without a jury. Hecht v. Boughton, 105 U.S. 235. The facts were found by the trial court and certain conclusions of law were stated, which the Supreme Court of the Territory held to be wrong. It sustained the exceptions upon one point which went to the root of the plaintiffs cause of action, and, upon the plaintiffs motion, coupled with a statement that it would have no further evidence to present at a second trial, ordered a judgment for the defendant, in order that the case might be brought to this court. The findings of fact were taken to be true by the Supreme Court and are not open to dispute, except so far as they depend upon rulings of law, so that the questions for decision here are definite and plain, and there is no need to send the case back for a statement of facts by the Supreme Court, although one should have been made. Stringfellow v. Cain, 98 U.S. 610; Harrison v. Perea, 168 U.S. 311, 323.
