Section 11-7-131 - Cases may be taken under judicial advisement

The judge may take a case under advisement until the next term. If an issue of fact be involved, before taking it under advisement, he shall, on notice to each party, cause the evidence on both sides to be reduced to writing and signed by him. At the next term, the judge shall deliver his opinion in writing, and the evidence and opinion shall be a part of the record without a bill of exceptions. Either party prosecuting an appeal may avail himself of all questions arising upon the record.Codes, Hutchinson's 1848, ch. 53, art. 6 (13); 1857, ch. 61, art. 10; 1871, § 534; 1880, § 1707; 1892, § 725; 1906, § 786; Hemingway's 1917, § 569; 1930, § 578; 1942, § 1522.
