Hinchman v. Point Defiance Railway Co.
Hinchman v. Point Defiance Railway Co.
Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the court was delivered by
On the 13th day of October, 1894, the superior court of Pierce county, in an action therein pending wherein Charles S. Hinchman was plaintiff, and the Point Defiance Railway Company, a corporation, the Point Defiance, Tacoma & Edison Railway
A motion has been made in this court to dismiss the appeal, for the reason, among others, that notice of appeal was not served upon any of the defendants who have appeared in the action, nor upon any of the parties in said action save and except the plaintiff. The notice of appeal was given in open court at the time the order appealed from was made, but as already stated the only parties that were then before the court were this appellant and the plaintiff in the original action. It is apparent that the other parties to the original action are as much interested in the result of
Dismissed.
Dissenting Opinion
(dissenting). I think the order should be affirmed for want of notice to necessary parties in the court below, but am of the opinion that the notice of appeal in open court was sufficient to bring all the parties to the proceeding to this court and that for that reason the motion to dismiss should be denied.
