Ewings v. Hoffine
Ewings v. Hoffine
Opinion of the Court
This is an attempted appeal from an order of the district court taxing against the plaintiff all costs of an action made at a designated term of said-court held during the pendency thereof. Prom the stipulations in the record which it is agreed “shall stand as and for the transcript, bill of exceptions, and record in such action,” it is disclosed that the action as originally begun was equitable in character, and that at the March, 1893, term of court, after trial began, the plaintiff requested and was permitted to amend his petition, and the cause was ordered continued at the cost of the plaintiff for the term. It was for- the purpose of malting this order effective, which seems never to have been done by a taxation of the costs in pursuance thereof, that the order complained of was entered of record. After the continuance referred to, the pleadings were recast and the action became one at law in ejectment. The cause was tried twice in the district court, and after each trial the record was brought here for review by a proceeding in
Dismissed.
