Crocker
People v. Wallace
Opinion of the Court
delivered the opinion of the Court—Cope, C. J. concurring.
The respondent moves to dismiss the appeal on the ground that the notice of appeal was served on his attorney, who lived out of the county, instead of on him personally, as required by the statute (Wood’s Digest, 308, Sec. 488), he residing in the county at the time.
The objection is well taken, and the appeal is therefore dismissed.
