26 Wash. 433 | Wash. | 1901
This is an appeal before final judgment from an order discharging an attachment. At the outset of the argument in their brief the learned counsel for the appellant frankly state that they, are aware that this court has held that such an order is not appealable; but they nevertheless insist that our prior decisions are not in accordance with the provisions of the constitution or of the statute relative to appeals to the supreme court, and should, therefore, be overruled. We have heretofore considered this question so often, both before and since the passage of the appeal act of 1893 (Laws 1893, p. 119), that we are not inclined either to enter upon any elaborate discussion of it at this time or to recede from our former rulings.
In Jensen v. Hughes, 12 Wash. 661 (42 Pac. 127), which was an appeal from an order dissolving an attachment, this court observed: .
“Chapter 61 of the Laws of 1893 provides what orders, judgments, or proceedings in the superior court may be appealed from; and subdivision 4 of § 1 [Bal. Code, § 6500] provides for an appeal from an order refusing to discharge an attachment. Prior to the enactment of this law it was the uniform holding of this court that neither an order dissolving, nor one refusing to dissolve or discharge, an attachment was appealable; and, inasmuch as the subsequent legislation above referred to provided for an appeal from an order refusing to discharge an attachment, and made no provision for an appeal from an order discharging an attachment, we should not be warranted in coming to the conclusion that the legislative will expressed in the chapter above referred to comprehended an appeal from an order discharging an attachment.”
