International Express & Foundry Co. v. Allen
International Express & Foundry Co. v. Allen
Opinion of the Court
delivered the opinion of the court.
This was a case whereiu on February 25th, 1924, we overruled a motion to dismiss the appeal. Subsequently the appellee filed a motion for reconsideration which we set for hearing along' with the hearing of the case on its merits. The appellee did not argue its case but submitted on brief. For a while we thought we had acquired jurisdiction of the case in accordance with our decision of February 29th, supra. A careful examination convinces us that our previous decision was erroneous and that the appeal must be dismissed.
In its original motion for dismissal the appellee maintained that the whole proceeding was one begun and entertained by virtue of the Act of 1907 as amended in 1908 Relating to the Trial of Right to Personal Property. Laws of 1907, p. 308. Section 19 thereof provides as follows:
“Section 19. — Appeal may be taken from all judgments rendered in cases of claims brought by a third party, within ten days and in the manner provided in the Code of Civil Procedure, for all appeals. ’ ’
The appellant maintained and we agreed with her that the proceeding here was an independent proceeding and not
The appellant and original complainant argue that as she presented an, answer and a cross-complaint to the complaint of the intervenor raising different issues, the action was taken out of the scope of the Act of 1907. The answer and supposed cross-complaint, however, was in response to the complaint in intervention made within the intervention proceeding. The judgment was clearly in favor of the claimant whose rights are fixed by said act. We are now therefore satisfied that the judgment was comprehended within the terms of that act.
Under these circumstances the appeal should have been taken within ten days from the notice of judgment, and as the appeal was not so taken it must be dismissed. It is so ordered.
Appeal dismissed.
