The Territory of New Mexico, Appellee,
vs.
David Rudabaugh, Appellant
[NO NUMBER IN ORIGINAL]
SUPREME COURT OF NEW MEXICO
1881-NMSC-004, 2 N.M. 222
January 21, 1881
Appeal from District Court of Santa Fe County.
JUDGES
Parks, Associate Justice.
OPINION
{*222} {1} The appellant in this case seems to have abandoned his appeal, and as the bill of exceptions is imperfect, it may be briefly disposed of.
{2} There is no certificate of the presiding judge at the close of the testimony that it contains all of the evidence. In the body of the bill, there is a reference to the transcript for matter which is thus intended to be made a part of the bill of exceptions.
{3} A number of instructions which it is stated were refused {*223} by the court are nowhere to be found in the bill or transcript, although it is stated they were refused by the court, and such refusal excepted to by the defendant. And the defendant, as excepting to an instruction, asked for by himself and given by the court.
{4} As we understand the case, it is not necessary to examine it further. Perhaps the court might properly have dismissed the appeal, but we deem it better to affirm the judgment.
{5} Judgment affirmed.
