In reviewing a judgment by writ of error every reasonable intendment not negatived by the record will be indulged in support of the judgment below.\n3. Appeal and ebrob, \u00a7 1303*\u2014presumption of sufficiency of evidence to sustain finding. Where in an order of dismissal the trial court found no costs to have accrued to either party, the' finding is presumed to be based upon evidence sufficient to sustain it in the absence of a statement of facts or stenographic report in the record.\n4. Appeal and error, \u00a7 1303*\u2014effect of statutory requirement as against finding. The fact that the statute requires a defendant demanding a jury to pay a fee of six dollars, does not overcome a finding of the court to the contrary, that no costs had accrued to either side upon the entry of an order of dismissal, since a presumption of the sufficiency of the evidence to sustain the finding prevails as against a presumption that the statutory fee was paid in a given case.\n5. Municipal Court of Chicago, \u00a7 26*\u2014necessity of statement of facts, transcript or report for review. If a party has not preserved the evidence for review in the manner prescribed by statute, he is not in a position to question the sufficiency of the evidence to support the finding of the trial court.\n6. Appeal and erbob, \u00a7 639*\u2014impropriety of affidavits to support motion for certificate of importance and appeal. Affidavits in support of a motion for a certificate of importance and appeal are wholly out of place in the Appellate Court.\n7. Municipal Court of Chicago, \u00a7 19*\u2014modification of judgment. .Municipal Court Act (Hurd\u2019s R. S\u201e .see. 284, J. & A. j[ 3333) provides for the vacation, setting aside or modification of a judgment after the expiration of thirty days, upon a proper petition.\n8. Costs, \u00a7 65*\u2014necessity for motion to retax for review. The taxation of costs is a-matter that cannot be reviewed by an Appellate Court without a motion having been first made in the trial court to retax the costs.",
