This is an appeal from an order of the Court below granting the defendants a new trial.

The only ground upon which the order was based, and the only point to which our attention is called by counsel for the respective parties on this appeal, is error of the Court, assigned by respondents as one of the grounds of their motion for a new trial, in admitting as evidence for plaintiffs, against objections of defendants, a deed from O. H. Gallop to the Guatamala Mining Company of the undivided half of the water right in controversy.

As appears by the statement on motion for new trial, the plaintiffs during the progress of the trial offered in evidence a deed from O. H. Gallop to the Guatamala Mining Company of the undivided half of the water right in controversy, to which defendants objected, and stated as ground of objection, “that it was void as a conveyance of title to such property as a ditch or water right, because it was not under seal, and because it was not acknowledged, as required by law, and because no foundation was laid for its introduction in evidence as a conveyance of title from Gallop, and because the Guatamala Company, as a company, could not *557 take title by bill of sale, even if it was free from legal objections.”

The Court below granted the motion for a new trial on the ground that the deed was erroneously admitted in evidence, there being no grantee named therein capable of taking; the deed was void as a conveyance of title, and plaintiffs took nothing by it.

When the motion for a new trial is founded entirely upon alleged errors of law in the proceedings of the Court below, and the order granting or refusing a new trial is based solely upon that ground, this Court will review such action of the Court as in other cases when questions of law, and not matters of discretion, are involved. (O'Brien v. Brady, 28 Cal. 243 .) In this case the ground of the motion for a new trial was purely a question of law, and the order of the Court granting a new trial was based solely on the assigned error in admitting in evidence the deed above referred to. The only question, therefore, which this Court is called upon to decide on this appeal from the order of the Court below is, was it error to admit the deed in evidence on behalf of plaintiffs against the objection thereto of defendant, as stated on the trial ?

This Court can only look to the statement as settled by the Court below to determine the character and point of the objection made on the trial to the introduction of proposed evidence. We cannot consult the opinion of the Judge, in passing upon the motion for a new trial, to discover the real point of objection. The objection relied upon as found in the settled statement in this case “ fails to specify the point upon which it rests.” As stated, it seems to imply that the point of objection is, that the instrument is void as a conveyance of title to the Guatamala Company, because it is a bill of sale, not for want of a grantee named therein capable of taking.

Had the point been specified in the objection when taken on the trial, as stated and assumed by the Judge in his opinion granting the motion, plaintiffs might have entirely *558 obviated the objection by preliminary or subsequent evidence. The title of the complaint names the individual plaintiffs as composing the Guatamala Company, and defendants’ answer recognizes the plaintiffs named as composing the Guatamala Company.

The deed upon its face is not void for want of a grantee named therein, and the objection as stated does not point to any defect of parties in the instrument, and all and each of the grounds or points of objection are untenable, or too vague and uncertain to entitle them to consideration on motion for a new trial.

To entitle objections to the admission of evidence to notice, “ the party should have laid his finger on the point at the time.” (Martin v. Travers, 12 Cal. 243 .)

Order reversed and cause remanded.
