Actions were instituted by the First National Bank of Yan Burén in the justice court on certain promissory notes executed separately by J. L. McLeroy, J. C. Armstrong and F. L. G-reenstreet. -Some of the notes were made payable to the Rose City Petroleum Corporation (hereafter called corporation), *268and some were made payable to “myself,” and the name of the maker indorsed on the notes. ' The total amount of the several notes was about $400. It is alleged that the notes were given to one Carl Shibley, a.stock salesman for the corporation, and that he indorsed the name of the corporation on all of the notes, and that the bank in due course purchased the notes. The Petroleum Producers’ Association (hereafter called association), a common-law trust, through its sole trustee, Dr. Fred A. Cook, was made a party defendant. It was alleged that the corporation was the owner of certain lots in the city of Van Burén, and that it sold same to the association with the fraudulent intent to cheat, hinder and delay the creditors of the corporation. Attachments were issued and levied upon certain lots in the city of Van Burén. The-several makers of the notes filed no answer. No affidavits were filed controverting the grounds for the attachments.
The corporation defended on the ground that it knew nothing of the indorsement of its name on the notes, and alleged that Shibley had no authority to indorse its name thereon. The causes were tried in the justice court, and judgment was rendered in favor of the appellee, and the attachments were sustained, and the property directed to be sold. The causes were appealed to the circuit court, where they were consolidated for trial. In the circuit court the association, through its trustee, defended on the ground that it purchased of the corporation the attached property in good faith, for a valuable consideration, and knew nothing of the notes upon which the actions were based. The trial resulted in separate verdicts and judgments in favor of the plaintiff against each of the several defendants in the original actions, and the attachments were sustained. The association, by Dr. Fred A. Cook, trustee, through his attorney, filed a motion for a new trial, which was overruled on the 25th day of July, 1923, and the order overruling the motion recites that “the defendant excepts, and prays an appeal to the Supreme Court, which prayer is granted, and ninety days given *269in which to file.a bill of exceptions.” The bill of exceptions was presented to the trial judge and signed by him on the 24th of October, 1923, and was that day filed with the clerk of the circuit court of Crawford County.
“Where time is allowed by the trial judge for filing a bill of exceptions beyond the term for a given number of days, the rule for computing the period allowed is the same as that of any other statute of limitations, and it excludes the day on which the order granting the time is made and includes the last day.” Early & Co. v. Maxwell & Co., 103 Ark. 569; Peebles v. Columbian Woodmen, 111 Ark. 435. Computing the time according to the above rule, the bill of exceptions in the case at bar was filed on the ninety-first day after the order was made, and was thus out of time. According to numerous decisions of this court, where time is allowed for filing a bill of exceptions, the bill should not only be signed -within the time, but should be filed with the clerk within the time so allowed. Pekin Stave Co. v. Watts, 95 Ark. 331; Early & Co. v. Maxwell & Co., supra; Peebles v. Columbian Woodmen, supra. Where a bill of exceptions is signed and filed after the expiration of time given for preparing and filing same, it does not present the evidence upon which any issues of fact were heard in the trial court. Ingles v. Oklahoma Oil & Gas Co., 163 Ark. 270; Routh v. Thorpe, 103 Ark. 46.
The errors of which appellant here complains do not appear upon the face of the record, and, in the absence of a bill of exceptions, we must indulge the presumption that the issues of fact in the court below were correctly determined. The record presents no error .in the rulings of the trial court, and its judgment is therefore affirmed.
