Greeley v. Page

Opinion of the Court

Holmes, J.

By the language of the statute, “ a party aggrieved by the judgment of a trial justice in a civil action may within twenty-four hours after the entry of the judgment appeal therefrom,” etc. Pub. Sts. c. 155, § 28. See also § 29. This is perfectly explicit, and appeal after the twenty-four hours has elapsed is too late. McIniffe v. Wheelock, 1 Gray, 600, 602. Penniman v. Cole, 8 Met. 496, 502.

Exceptions overruled.
