Cordello v. Deponte
Cordello v. Deponte
Opinion of the Court
Judgment was entered for plaintiff on default in the justice court, and appealed by defendant to the municipal court. Plaintiff moved in the municipal court for a dismissal of the appeal, and that the judgment of the justice court be affirmed, on the ground that no proof of service was indorsed on
It would seem that the motion to dismiss the action in the municipal court was renewed in that court upon the further ground that the proof of service of the notice of appeal was not filed with the justice of the peace within ten days after the service of the notice. The facts appearing from the record justified the trial court in denying the motion to dismiss the appeal upon both grounds. The trial court was justified in allowing the complaint to be amended to conform with the evidence, and in finding that defendant was indebted to the plaintiff in the amount of the judgment. The point that the notice of appeal from the justice court was not served within ten days from the entry of judgment is raised in this court for the first time, and will not be considered.
Affirmed.
