Martin, Attorney General, for the State. [MAJORITY — PELHAM, P. J.] PELHAM, P. J. The transcript shows certain demurrers that were interposed to the indictment, but if any ruling of the trial court was invoked on these demurrers, it is not shown by the judgment entry or anything appearing in the record. Under these conditions, showing no judgment of the trial court on the demurrers, the record presents no question on the demurrers for review here. — Peters v.

The charges set out in the transcript cannot be reviewed, in the absence of a bill of exceptions, and the record in this case contains nothing purporting to be a bill of exceptions. — Clay v.
