shows that the appellant is ngag1
in business, and much better able to
support the child then the respond
ent, and Its age and sex favor his be
ing given such a preference. We are
of the opinion. In the absence of a
tinding and proof, that it would have
been improper to award the care and
custody of the child to the appellant;
the circuit court was not Justified n
giving the respondent the preference
in that regard." here seems to be a
hiatus between the premise laid down
by the court, namely: that the father
was entitled to the custody of the min
or, and he hnal conclusion reacnea -
that the custody should be given to
the grandfather. The fact seems to
be that the court did what courts
usually do in these cases, gave the
custody of the child to the person
most likely to look after its welfare.
It is true that the court Incidentally
mentions the fact that no tinding had
been made that the father was an
Improper person to be entrusted with
the care of the infant, but, as we
shall presently show, such findi ig
would have had no controlling influ
ence if It had been made.
Ilarnes v. Long, 54 Or. 548, was a
habeas corpus proceeding brought ly
the father of a minor against its ma
ternal grandmother. The mother
had been given the custody of the
child In divorce proceedings, and sub
sequently died. Tbe grandmothtr,
without any order of the court, at
tempted to retain its custody ns
against the father. The court held,
that, in the absence of any showing
that the father was an improper per
son to care for the child, he was en
titled to Its custody. The case does
no seem to he in po'.nt here.
If we take the findings here as Im
porting absolute verity, it appears
that the plaintiff is not an adulteress,
and that she is a woman of good,
moral character, who has been guilty
of certain indiscreet conduct whim
age and experience will no doubt cor
rect. The trial judge had the parties
berore him and heard the testimony
and, in the absence of these, we must
conculdo that he found correctly. If
defendant had desired an affirmative
finding as to his qualifications to
care for the child, he no doubt could j
have obtained It by a request to that j
effect. It appears that the child is i
a litle girl under four years of age
and the court no doubt concluded,1
and perhasp correctly, that she j
would, for the present, he better off I
in the care of her mother than any-
where else, and we are not disposed 1
to reverse his decree. j
In addition to what has already!
been said, we do not feel that, as a j
matter or law. we have any jurlsdlc- j
tion to pass on the matter on this j
appeal. Suits in equity are tried "de J
novo" in this court. While the find-i

brought here on appeal, unaccom

nothing from which this court can
find any fact or base any conclusion
of law. Vpon appeal In such cases,
this court must mkc Its own find
ings and this it canuot do in the ab
sence of testimony. The reason for
this is plain. A court may make a
wronK finding or one not Justified by
the testimony and yet render a cor
rect and righteous decree. In this
case the court found that the plain
tiff was not humor' hut that she had
been Indiscreet. It might be that

Following this view it has iHVn
many times held by this mart, thi't
ai'ie,u, which unngs up only the
decree and findings of the "lower
court, presents only one question for
review here ramcty; ,u, sullU'iencv
of the pleadings.
Howe v. Patterson, 5 Or. 3,-,3, is a
case where the transcript contained
only the pleadings and the decree
and findings of fact, without any evi
dence accompanying it. This court,
In affirming the decree of the lower
court, say: "The Civil Code (Sec.
533), provides that 'upon an appeal
from a Judgment the same shall oniy
be reviewed as to questions of law
appearing upon the transcript; but
upon an appeal from a decree given
in any court, the suit shall be tried
anew upon the transcript and evi
dence accompany) it.' This evi
dently means that it shall be trl"d
over again on the facts as well as the
law, and this cannot be done In the
absence of the testimony.

they are conclusive upon the parties
on appeal. To this proposition we
cannot assent. An appeal from a
Judgment, In an action at law, as pro
vided for in our code, is in the na
ture of a writ of error at common
law, because It expressly provides
that 'a Judgment can only be re
viewed as to questions of law ap
pearing upon the transcript.' Thus
it will be seen that on appeals in ac
tions at law, issues of fact cannot
be reviewed by this court. But, as
it Is provided that, on an appeal
from a decree In n suit in equity,
'the same shall be tried anew upon
the transcript and evidence,' it is ob
vious that where testimony was tak
en in the court below, it must be
brought here so this court may try
the cause anew, as well upon the
facts as upon the law."
In Wyatt v. Wyatt, 31 Or. 531, the
ease of Howe v. Patterson Is quoted
deducible therefrom. This
being so, the only question before us
for consideration is, does the com
plaint state facts sufficient to sup
port the decree." See also, Morri
son's Kstate, 48 Or. 612.
In many instances these orders are
merely tentative and in this case If
It should transpire that plaintiff has
proved unfaithful t the trust com
mitted to her or that her conduct is
such that it is not for the best Inter
est of the child to permit her to
longer retain its custody, defendant
has always an adequate remedy isy
applying to the court for a modifica
tion of this portion of its decree.
For the reasons heretofore as
signed, the decree o' the circuit court
will be affirmed.
