Town of Erin Prairie v. Wells

| Wis. | Oct 6, 1914

Rehearing

The following opinion was filed October 6, 1914:

Pee OuRiAsr.

A motion for a rehearing herein which has been duly submitted is denied; the first ground of the decision, however, was not warranted by the record. Though a long period had elapsed between the entry of the order dismissing the appeal and the one refusing to set it aside, it appears that the term of court had been kept open in the meantime.

The time had expired for taking an appeal from the first order when the second was entered. Therefore, mere error in respect to the former could not he reached by appealing from the latter, as counsel for respondent contended at first and still contend. Van Steenwyck v.

As there said if such were not the case the statute limiting the time to appeal from orders would he wholly nullified.

Lead Opinion

The following opinion was filed May 21, 1914:

Maeshaul, J.

If there were error in dismissing the cause it was one of law, which, after the trial terpi, could be corrected only by appeal. It was not within sec. 2832, Stats.

An order claimed to be erroneous and which has passed the stage of competency for the circuit court to deal with it cannot be reviewed on appeal from an order refusing to set it aside.

By the Gourt. — The order is affirmed.
