Mahoney v. Board of County Commissioners
Mahoney v. Board of County Commissioners
Opinion of the Court
— This is an appeal from a judgment of the district court of Shoshone county affirming the action of the board of county commissioners of said county authorizing the sheriff to appoint eight additional deputies. On the entry of said judgment a motion for a new trial was made, and denied by the court. This appeal is from said judgment and order denying the motion for a new trial, and was perfected eighty-eight days after the entry of said judgment.
A motion was made in this court to dismiss said appeal from the order denying a new trial on the ground that in an action
That leaves the ease for consideration on the appeal from the judgment. It is contended that under the provisions of section 4807 of the Bevised Statutes, the evidence cannot be reviewed on the ground that the decision is not supported by the evidence, unless the appeal is taken within sixty days after the entry of judgment, and that, as this appeal was not taken within that time, the evidence cannot be reviewed on this appeal. Said section, as amended, provides that an appeal may be taken to the supreme court from the district court from a judgment rendered on an appeal from an order, decision or action of the board of county commissioners within ninety days after the entry of the judgment, but that an exception to the decision or verdict on the ground that it is not supported by the evidence cannot be reviewed on an appeal from the judgment unless the appeal is taken within sixty days after the rendition of the judgment. That being so, and as this appeal was not taken within sixty days after the rendition of said judgment, the evidence cannot be reviewed on this appeal.
No error appearing on the face of the judgment-roll, the judgment must be affirmed, and it is so ordered. Costs are awarded to respondents.
