[ G.R. No. 1842, August 25, 1905 ]
DOMINGO CO-YENGCO, PLAINTIFF AND APPELLEE, VS. LEON REYES, DEFENDANT AND APPELLANT.
D E C I S I O N
WILLARD, J.:
The court below, in its decision, rejected the defendant's counterclaim. He rejected the item of extra work of 1,195.80 pesos claimed by the plaintiff, and reduced the other item of extra work from 1,444 pesos to 540.09 pesos, and ordered judgment for the plaintiff for 3,247.48 pesos.
The defendant presented a motion for a new trial based upon the discovery of new evidence, but he did not present any motion for a new trial based on section 497, paragraph 3 of the Code of Civil Procedure that is to say, upon the ground that the findings of fact made by the court below were not justified by the evidence. We can not, therefore, review the evidence, but are concluded by the findings made by the judge below.
All the errors which the appellant alleges that the court below committed, relate to the weight of the evidence, and to nothing else.
The judgment of the court below is accordingly affirmed, with the costs of this instance against the appellant. After the expiration of twenty days judgment will be entered in conformity herewith, and the cause will be returned to the lower court for execution. So ordered.
Arellano C.J., Torres Mapa, Johnson, and Carson, JJ., concur.
