Upon such affidavit the' warrant issued, and an officer, in company with the appellant, went to the home of the appellee and there searched the premises, failing to find any of the articles described.\nThe appellant, by answer, admitted that be made the affidavit; that the warrant issued, and the premises were searched, with the result that none of the stolen property was found. He denied that be acted with malice, without probable cause, or with intent to injure the appellee.\nA trial was bad before the court without \u00e1 jury, at the conclusion of which findings of fact and conclusions of law were made. It was found, among other things, that the appellant made the affidavit; 'that the appellee\u2019s premises were searched; that none of the stolen goods were found; that in making such affidavit, and thereby causing such search to be made, the appellant acted maliciously and without probable cause. The court then concluded that the appellee was entitled to recover and fixed his damages at the sum of $400, for which sum judgment was rendered. . \u2022\nNo specific exceptions were taken to the findings of fact and conclusions of law. At the conclusion thereof is found the recitation that the defendant, in open court, excepted to all such findings. No requested findings or conclusions were tendered by the appellant. Bach of the assignments of error challenges the correctness of such findings and conclusions, and the entire argument made in appellant\u2019s brief relates to the insufficiency of the evidence to support them. Under the long-established rule of this court, we cannot review the findings of the trial court unless specific exceptions are made thereto, calling the attention of the trial court to the errors inhering therein. A general exception of this character is insufficient and forms no basis for review by this court. Southard v. Latham, 18 N. M. 503, 138 Pac. 205, 50 L. R. A. (N. S.) 871; Fullen v. Fullen, 21 N. M. 212, 153 Pac. 294; Frostenson v. Marshall et al., 25 N. M. 215, 180 Pac. 287; Sandoval v. Unknown Heirs of Vigil et al., 25 N. M. 536, 185 Pac. 282; McGonigle v. Eagle Townsite Co., 25 N. M. 625, 187 Pac. 546. In Frostenson v. Marshall, supra, it is said:\n\u201cNor can the appellants question the sufficiency of the evidence to sustain the findings made by the court. It is well settled in this jurisdiction that unless the findings of fact are specifically excepted to, an appellant is in no position to question the sufficiency of the evidence to sustain such finding's. Fullen v. Fullen, 21 N. M. 212, 153 Pac. 294; Hopkins v. Norton, 23 N. M. 187, 167 Pac. 425.\u201d\nAnd in McGonigle v. Eagle Townsite Co., supra, this court further said:\n\u201cAs to the findings objected to, this question is disposed of by the case of Fullen v. Fullen, 21 N. M. 212, 153 Pac. 294. The only exception taken by appellant to the findings and judgment is as follows: \u2018As to all of which the defendants, the Eagle Townsite Company, excepts.\u2019 This exception, as stated by the court in the case of Pullen v. Pullen, conveys, under the circumstances in which it was made, no intimation that the decree was erroneous, or, if so, upon what ground. - As appellant made no specific objection to the findings or judgment in the lower court, and asked for no findings, there is nothing here, in this regard, for review.\u201d\nThere being nothing properly before this court for review, the judgment must needs be affirmed, and it is so ordered.\nPARKER, C.
