Perham v. Kuper
Opinion of the Court
James Patterson owned a mine. Plaintiff claimed to have
When the judgment-roll was offered, the relation of defendants to the property had not been made to appear, and there is, in the bill of exceptions, no specification of insufficiency of evidence pointing toward the invalidity now asserted.
It is also urged that the Court had no jurisdiction of the person or property of Patterson, because the judgment-roll contains no proof of the publication of summons in the action Perham v. Patterson. But no objection was made to the judgment-roll when it was offered in evidence, and the bill of exceptions contains no specification of deficiency in the evidence to the effect that the judgment-roll and deed did not show title in plaintiff; nor even a specification that the plaintiff s title was not made out by the evidence.
Defendants claimed under a Sheriff’s deed which was executed on the fifth of April, 1875, the execution sale having taken place October 5, 1874. The judgment debtor had the whole of the fifth day of April, 1875, to redeem. (C. C. P., §§ 12, 702.) The act of redemption was to bé done within six months after the sale. The Sheriff had power to execute the deed only after the period for redemption had passed. The deed is void. (Gross v. Fowler, 21 Cal. 392; Bernal v. Gleim, 33 id. 668; Moore v. Martin, 38 id. 428; Hall v. Yoell, 45 id. 584.)
It may be that the Court below should have found that the defendants had an estate, right, title, or interest in, and were entitled to the possession of the land, by virtue of the judgment, sale, and certificate of sale. But there is in the bill of exceptions no specification of insufficiency of the evidence to justify any of the findings, nor any such specification, except as to the evidence on which the Court found that the Sheriff’s deed was void.
Judgment and order affirmed.

It may be that the Court below should have found that the defendants had an estate, right, title, or interest in and were entitled to the possession of the land by virtue of the judgment, sale, and certificate of sale.
