State v. Syster
State v. Syster
Opinion of the Court
An information was filed with the probate judge of Gooding county, Idaho, sitting as a magistrate, charging
The only error complained of is that the district court erred in dismissing the appeal from the order of the probate judge, sitting as a magistrate. While the magistrate’s proceedings were somewhat irregular, and did not conform in all respects with the requirements of C. S'., secs. 8630-8637, the only question presented to this court by this appeal is as to whether an appeal lies from such an order.
In these proceedings, the order of a magistrate requiring the person informed against to give security ,to keép the peace is not a judgment of conviction rendered in a criminal action, and therefore no appeal lies from such order. (Holliday v. Holliday, 123 Cal. 26, 55 Pac. 703; Howard v. State, 121 Ala. 21, 25 So. 1000; State v. Lyon, 93 N. C. 575; State v. Locust, 63 N. C. 574; Fisher v. Hamilton, 49 Ind. 341; State v. Cooper, 90 Ind. 575; Weisselman v. State, 95 Wis. 274, 70 N. W. 169; and note in 90 Am. St. 799.)
C. S., sec. 9263, provides that a defendant may appeal to the district court from any judgment of conviction rendered in a criminal action by a probate or justice’s court. This not being a judgment of conviction rendered in a criminal action, no right of appeal exists. (State v. Grady, 31 Ida. 272, 170 Pac. 85; Rhodenbaugh v, Stingel, 31 Ida. 594, 174
The record discloses no error, and the judgment of the lower court is affirmed. '
