1. Assignments of error, whether contained in a bill of exceptions or in a petition for certiorari, must be specific; and, when based upon a judgment of the trial court, must specifically point out the reason why the judgment is error; and, where the only assignment of error in a bill of exceptions to a judgment is that the plaintiff in error excepted to the judgment and assigns the same as "error," the assignment of error does not point out the reason why the judgment is erroneous and presents no question for the consideration of this court.
