81 Ind. App. 623 | Ind. Ct. App. | 1923
Appellant was tried and convicted in the Marion Criminal Court on a charge of contributing to the delinquency of a girl under the age of eighteen years, which was originally filed in the Marion Juvenile Court, and transferred to said former court on an application by appellant for a change of venue. His motion for a new trial was overruled on May 16, 1921, and thereupon he prayed an appeal to the Supreme
While this appeal was pending in the Supreme Court, the parties filed their respective briefs on the question as to which court of appeal had jurisdiction of the class of cases to which this appeal belongs, viz.: those cases originating in the Juvenile Court of a county having a criminal court, where the judgment is rendered in the latter court on a change of venue, pursuant to §1648 Burns 1914, Acts 1905 p. 440. The act of the Supreme Court in ordering the cause transferred to this court must be accepted as a determination that appeals in the class of cases mentioned are governed by §1635 Burns 1914, Acts 1907 p. 221. Logansport Credit Exchange v. Sands (1913), 54 Ind. App. 562; Mikels v. Citizens’ Nat. Bank (1922), 79 Ind. App. 165. This section, which relates to appeals to this court only, provides that in appeals thereunder: “the party appealing shall file a transcript in the office of the clerk of the Supreme Court within thirty (30) days from the rendition of the judgment appealed from.” As the transcript in this cause was not so filed until more than seventy (70) days after the action of the court in overruling appellant’s motion for a new trial, this court is without jurisdiction. The appeal is therefore dismissed.
