60 Fla. 183 | Fla. | 1910
The transcript of the record filed herein June 11th, 1910, contains a verdict for the defendant, J. D. Streety, rendered November 3rd, 1909, and also a writ of error dated May 3rd, 1910, returnable June 11th, 1910, addressed to a judgment in the cause; but no final judgment appears. The plaintiff in error now presents a certified copy of a final judgment nunc pro tunc in the cause dated October 28,1910, signed by the trial judge, in which it is stated that judgment was rendered on the verdict, but was not entered by the clerk, and leave is asked to amend the transcripts of the record by inserting therein the judgment dated October 28th, 1910, and to file briefs.
In this case it appears that the final judgment was not entered or recorded in the minutes of the court when the trial was had, but it was put in form for entry or record and signed by the judge on October , 1910. In order to bring this judgment here for review a writ of error should be issued addressed thereto “within six months from the date of said judgment.” Sec. 1699 Gen. Stats.; Eaton v. McCaskill, 53 Fla. 513, 43 South. Rep. 447; Simmons v. Hanne, 50 Fla. 267, 39 South. Rep. 77, 7 Ann. Cas. 322.
Upon the issuance of a writ of error to the judgment, leave may be asked to use the transcripts now here. See Goldring v. Reed, decided at this term.
The application to attach the certified copy of the final judgment to the transcript of the record will be continued in the absence of a writ of error addressed to the final judgment.
All concur.
