The opinion
Opinion by
RITTENHOUSE, C.
The defendant in error moved to dismiss this appeal on the'ground that no petition in error had been filed. The only pleading which could possibly be interpreted as a petition in error is as follows:
*208
“In the Supreme Court of the State of Oklahoma. Farmers’ State Bank, Plaintiff in Error, v. City State Bank of Mangum, Defendant in Error. Assignment of Error. Comes now the plaintiff in error and assigns as error of the trial court that the court erred in overruling the motion for a new trial filed in tire lower court: B. F. Van Dyke, Attorney for Plaintiff in Error.”
The petition in error should, with reasonable certainty, describe the cause wherein it is claimed that error has occurred, and the judgment should be described with the same reasonable certainty. The petition in error in this cause is not entitled a petition in error, does not describe the judgment appealed from, does not set- forth the court or cause in which the judgment was rendered, does not contain a prayer for relief, nor is the case-made i eferred to in any manner as a part of said petition.
The object of the petition in error, as provided by section 6069, Comp. Laws 1909 (Rev. Laws 1910, sec. 5238), is to obtain a reversal, vacation, or modification of the judgment or final order, and, when such judgment or final order is not set forth in the petition in error with reasonable certainty, the same is insufficient.
In the case of
Ketner v. Dillingham,
6 Kan. App. 921 , 50 Pac. 1098 , the court held under a similar statute:
“Where -the petition in error does not show in what case or court the judgment was rendered, nor what court tried the case, nor the pleadings, it will be dismissed.”
See, also,
Higgins v. Higgins, 7
Kan. App. 811, 52 Pac. 906 ;
Marvel v. White,
5 Okla. 736 , 50 Pac. 87 ;
Board of Com’rs of Woods County v. Oxley,
8 Okla. 502 , 58 Pac. 651 ;
King v. Horse Chief Eagle,
23 Okla. 532 , 101 Pac. 1135 ;
Gwinnup et al. v. Griffins et al.,
26 Okla. 866 , 113 Pac. 909 ;
McMasters v. English et al.,
26 Okla. 818 , 110 Pac. 1070 ;
Wilson v. Mann,
37 Okla. 475 , 132 Pac. 487 .
The purported petition in error in this cause is insufficient to confer jurisdiction on this court, and the motion to dismiss the cause on the ground of the insufficiency of such petition should be sustained, and the cause dismissed.
By the Court: It is -so ordered.
