Aubour v. Yazoo & Mississippi Valley Railroad
Aubour v. Yazoo & Mississippi Valley Railroad
Opinion of the Court
delivered the opinion of the court.
The appellee makes a motion to dismiss this appeal on the •ground that the court was held at an unauthorized time. It . appears that at the time the court was held it was not at a general term and no special term had been called. Under the
Tbe court was held at an unauthorized time, and it seems well settled that all proceedings in a court, at a time when the bolding of such court is unauthorized by law, and its jurisdiction is not exercised within tbe time prescribed for tbe term to be held, is* void. See page 728, 11 Cyc. and notes.
Motion sustained and appeal dismissed.
