Supreme Court of Missouri · Decided August 15, 1873 · Adams, Napton, Sherwood, Tories, Wagner
53 Mo. 321

Dale v. Copple

Opinion of the Court

Sherwood, Judge,

delivered the opinion of the court.

This was an action of trespass for cutting down the timber of plaintiff', William Dale; brought by him against the road overseer, William H. Anderson, and a number of other defendants. The record shows that a verdict was returned *322for the plaintiff, in the usual form, and then this language is used: “ Whereupon, the court ordered judgment to be en-

tered accordingly.” But no judgment is actually entered, and therefore the appeal must be dismissed.

Judges Adams and Tories concur; Judges Wagner and Napton absent.
