67 Minn. 111 | Minn. | 1897
This action was commenced in 'the municipal court of Owatonna, and it does not appear how the case found its way to the district court of Ramsey county, where it was tried and judgment rendered for defendant. The plaintiff appeals from that judgment, but on such a record he cannot raise the question that the action was wrongfully removed from said municipal court.
The case was called for trial in said district court, the plaintiff failed to appear, and thereupon, in the absence of plaintiff, the defendant proceeded to try the case on the merits, and introduced evidence to prove his version of the transaction in question. The court made findings of fact and ordered judgment on the merits in favor of defendant, which was entered. The action is for the recovery of money claimed as rent. The answer does not contain any counter
The judgment is reversed, the findings of fact set aside, and the cause remanded to the court below for further proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion.
