75 P. 488 | Kan. | 1904
The opinion of the court was delivered by
We find we have no jurisdiction to pass upon the merits of this case. Appellant’s motion for a new trial was overruled at the February
It is contended, however, on behalf of the appellant, that a different principle has been announced in The State v. Bradbury, 67 Kan. 808, 74 Pac. 231. An examination of these two cases will disclose no discrepancy between them. The Croco case announces the rule, that “where time is given beyond the term for filing a bill of exceptions until a day named, the filing of the bill on such a day is not within the time limited.”
This rule, however, is subject to the exception that where it is the manifest intention of the parties to include the last day, such intention will be given effect. In the Bradbury case time was given until the 5th day of the regular June, 1902, term of the court; so in that case this specification was held to be a day certain upon which the bill of exceptions was to be settled and thus brought within the exception noted in the Croco case. It was as though the date named had been, for example, until Christmas or until the next .market day, in either of which cases the intention would clearly be to. include the day named.
The appeal will be dismissed.
