*405Opinion of the Court,

Waterman, J.

Appellants made their promissory note, payable to the order of appellee; John B. and William H. Yesey signed the same as sureties. Suit was brought thereon, and the Yeseys only, having been served with process, judgment ivas obtained against them for $1,131.17. Thereupon a scire facias Avas issued to appellants, requiring them to show cause why they should not be made parties to the judgment; this having been served, they appeared and filed a plea of the general issue.

January 23, 1893, the matter coming on for hearing, a jury being waived, the court found the issues for appellee and ordered that appellants be made parties to the said judgment against William H. and John B. Yesey for the sum of $1,131_17.

It is urged that the judgment is for too great a sum, it being in part made up by the alloAvance of $100 as attorney’s fees; the note providing for the allowance of reasonable attorney’s fees, and no evidence as to Avhat Avas such fee having been heard.

The bill of exceptions fails to show that a motion for a new trial was made, or that any exception to the amount of the finding was taken.

A general exception only was taken, viz: “ to the finding, order and judgment of the court.” The attention of the court not having been called to the alleged error in the' amount of its finding, by motion for a new trial or otherwise, so that it might correct the same, it is too late to urge such objections here.
