No objection or exception was made by defendant to the admission of any testimony, and these assignments are therefore untenable.\nThe fourth ground of error assigned is to the instructions given by the court. No exceptions were noted to any of the instructions, as given; the defendant having waived any right he may have had in that behalf, he cannot now urge exceptions for the first time in this court.\nThe fifth ground of error assigned is to the effect that it does not appear from the evidence in this case that the crime complained of and charged against the defendant was committed within the jurisdiction of this court. This ground may be considered, as it goes to the jurisdiction of the court and may be raised for the first time on appeal; it, however, is no t well taken, for the reason that it appears conclusively from the testimony offered on behalf of the Territory that the larceny was committed within the county where the cause was tried. One witness testified as follows:\n\u201cQ. What county was that corral in, that the sheep of Leandro Oasaus was in \u2014 the corral the sheep were taken out of? A. County of Guadalupe.\n\u201cQ. What county is the place you found these sheep in, near the house of Jose Manuel Gonzales? A. In the county of Guadalupe.\u201d\nAnother witness testified as follows:\n\u201cQ. Wbat county is Puerto in, where these sheep were taken from, out of your corral? A. Guadalupe county.\n\u201cQ. In what county is the ranch and house of this defendant? A. In Guadalupe county.\u201d\nThe sixth and seventh assignments of error are general in character, and are to the effect that the verdict is contrary to the law and the evidence, and that it is based on incompetent and illegal testimony. Neither of these grounds can be considered by the court, for the reason that the attention of the court is not called specifically to any objections or exceptions raising the question of the incompetemcy or illegality of testimony offered on behalf of the Territory throughout the trial; indeed none were made or taken. To entitle a party to have the admission or rejection of evidence upon the trial, considered upon appeal, it is essential that his objections should be taken during the progress of the trial and his exceptions noted.\n\u201cExceptions to the decision of the court upon any matter of law arising during the progress of the cause, or to the giving or refusing of instructions, must be taken at the time of such decision.\u201d Compiled Laws of 1897, section 8145.\nThis case being without an exception, either as to the admission or rejection of testimony or the charge of the court, under the oft-repeated decisions of this court, there is nothing before it for consideration.\nIn Territory v. Padilla., 8 N. M. 564, this court held:\n\u201cThat where no objection or exception is shown by the record to have been made to the instructions, they could not be considered here. It is specifically held that our statutes requiring exceptions to be taken at the time to the court\u2019s decision, applies as well to criminal as to civil cases.\u201d\nIn Territory v. O\u2019Donnell, 4 N. M. 196, this court held that:\n\u201cExceptions to the decision of the court upon any matter of .law arising during the progress of the case, or to- the giving or refusing of* instructions, must be taken at the time of such decision:\u201d\nThis court will not consider errors alleged to have been committed in the trial of the case not excepted to in the trial court at the time the ruling was made. The California Fruit Co. v. Stamm, 9 N. M. 366.\nThe rule is universal that nothing which occurs in the progress of a trial can be assigned for error on appeal, unless it is brought to the attention of the court below and passed upon directly or indirectly. Wood v. Weimar, 104 U. S. 786,\nWhere no exceptions are taken at the trial to the rulings of the court, there is nothing before the Supreme Court on appeal to consider. The appeal from the judgment below does not operate as an exception. Young v. McClain, 8 Ind. 357.\nNo motion was made on behalf of the defendant in arrest of judgment, although the record does disclose that the defendant took an exception to the order of the court overruling his motion for a new trial. This will not, however, avail defendant anything, as he cannot bring up for review, on his motion for a new trial, any questions not properly raised by exceptions taken during the progress of the trial. In 16 Iowa 260, Judge Dillon, writing the opinion of the court, says:\n\u201cIt is generally held that exceptions previously taken may be embodied in a motion for a new trial, and in this manner preserved and brought before the appellate tribunal; but all rulings not excepted to and all exceptions not embodied in the motion for a new trial, are by the appellate court deemed waived.\u201d\nWe find nothing in the case presented on behalf of the defendant to justify further consideration. The defendant having waived his objections and exceptions during the progress of the trial, cannot now avail himself by presenting objections and exceptions which he might have taken.\nWe therefore find no error in the record presented herein. The judgment and sentence of the court below should be affirmed, and it is so ordered.\nBaker, McFie and Parker, JJ., concur.\nMills, C.

Defendant moved for a new trial, which was denied. Appeal was prayed for and allowed to this court.\nIt appears by the testimony that one Casaus, being the owner of upwards of two thousand sheep, was engaged in dipping them at his corral in Guadalupe county, in August, 1899. While so engaged, one of his neighbors called upon him and claimed compensation for damages suffered by reason of Casaus driving his sheep across complainant\u2019s planted field. On examination it was found that a number of sheep had left the corral of Casaus, apparently driven by two people on foot for some distance, when it appears from the tracks following the sheep that the parties driving them had mounted ' their horses and continued to drive the sheep on horseback. This trail was followed by the employees of Ca-saus several miles to the north, and west, when one of them came upon the defendant with the sheep near the defendant\u2019s ranch.\nOne Rael was also found in defendant\u2019s ranch-house. No other people were in that vicinity, and the nearest ranch was three or four miles distant. Both Rael and the defendant admitted to Casaus that they drove the sheep from his corral, Rael claiming that he was compelled to do so by reason of threats made by defendant.\nDefendant sought to compromise the matter by the execution of a contract, wherein he agreed to allow Ca-saus the use of his ranch for lambing purposes.\nFive witnesses were sworn on behalf of the Territory. The testimony of each tended strongly to confirm the larceny by defendant. The defendant was sworn in his own behalf, and denied the larceny. He admitted the execution of the contract, but claimed it was made for the purpose of. settling the matter in the magistrate\u2019s court.\nDefendant had employed counsel, who withdrew from the case when it was moved for trial. Thereupon the court appointed special counsel to take charge of defendant\u2019s case.\nNo exceptions were taken on the part of the defendant upon the trial nor were any exceptions noted to the charge of the court." }, "file_name": "0447-01", "first_page_order": 465, "last_page_order": 477 }
