FITZGERALD, J.

The appeal in this case purports to be from a judgment upon the judgment-roll with a bill of exceptions. There are so-called “findings .and conclusions of law ’ ’ set out in the transcript, but they do not appear to have been signed by the judge or filed with the clerk; nor was there any judgment entered thereon, as required by sections 632, 633 of the Code of Civil Procedure. With the exception of a statement in the bill of exceptions that a “decree was rendered in favor of the petitioner as in said decree set forth,” there is nothing in the record showing that any judgment was ever rendered by the court. ■ This point was not made by counsel, either in their arguments or briefs, for the reason, perhaps, that they supposed that the judgment had been regularly entered upon the decision, and that, as the appeal had been- taken upon the judgment-roll, it was necessarily contained therein. If, however, it should be made to appear within the time allowed to file a petition for rehearing that the judgment was in fact entered upon the decision, but was inadvertently omitted from the transcript, then the judgment herein will be set aside, and counsel permitted, upon a suggestion of diminution of the record, to supply the omission. Appeal dismissed.

We concur: De Haven, J.; McFarland, J.
