This appeal is prosecuted from a judgment of the Campbell circuit court in a suit by August Helmbold against 'Wm. F. Krinn, it being brought by the appellee against
It is the contention of appellant that he had the right to. file the record with the clerk of this court, and obtain an appeal after the expiration of thirty days from the rendition of the judgment, and he seeks to have the same principle applied to this case as applies to appeals in other cases which have been granted by the court belowT, but not perfected by filing the record in this court within the time specified, and contends that he may within the time allowed for appeals, file same with the clerk and obtain an appeal as in other cases. The contention of appellee is that the record must be filed within thirty days from Ihe rendition of the judgment, and that appeals in such, eases as the one at bar are governed by the act' of the Legislature passed in 1900, and to be found in “Acts of the special session of the Legislature which was convened the 28th of August, 1900.” It will be seen, from an examination of that act, that various provisions were made requiring and providing for a prompt and speedy determination of election contests, and after a judgment the act also provides for the manner and time of taking appeals to this court. So much of the act as we deem pertinent
Appeal is accordingly dismissed.
