Craig v. City of Birmingham

Alabama Court of Appeals

Decided May 30, 1916PublishedCited by 7 opinions

Appeal from Jefferson Criminal Court. Heard before Hon. Wm. E. Fort. H. E. Craig was convicted of violating a municipal ordinance in the city of Birmingham, and he appeals, but assigns no errors on the record. Appellee moves for an affirmance upon that ground.

1Opinion of the CourtEvans, J.

This is an appeal from a judgment of conviction for the violation of a municipal ordinance. The appellant assigns no error upon the record.

The prosecution for a violation of a municipal ordinance is statutory and quasi criminal in its nature. Section 6264, Code 1907, obviating the necessity of assigning errors in criminal cases, has no application to quasi criminal appeals, as for the violation of an ordinance of a municipal corporation.—Perry v. State, 1 Ala. App. 253, 55 South. 1035; Dreyfus v. City of Montgomery, 4 Ala. App. 270, 58 South. 730; Creel v. City of Jasper, 69 South. 239.
