George Brandt was adjudged guilty of the violation of a city ordinance of the city of Hastings in the police court of that city.

Section 1, ch. 162,nlaws 1907, providing for appeals to the supreme court, provides: “The proceedings to obtain a reversal, vacation or modification of judgments and decrees rendered or final orders made by the district court, except judgments and sentences upon convictions for felonies and misdemeanors under the criminal code of this state, shall be by filing in the supreme court,” etc. Sections 2 and 3 of the act provide for the manner of docketing the case in the supreme court, and for the giving of notice of appeal. Under this statute only judgments and sentences upon conviction for felonies and misdemeanors under the criminal code of the state may be brought to this court by petition in error. All other cases must come here by appeal, and notice must be given, either as specified in section 3 of the act, or under the provisions of supreme court rules 33 to 37, inclusive. Rule 36 provides that notice of appeal “shall be served upon the appellees named therein or their attorney or attorneys of record in the court below.”
