Callanan v. Kossuth County

Supreme Court of Iowa

Decided April 6, 1895Published

Appeal from Kossuth District Court. — Hon. George H. Carr, Judge. Action for taxes paid by mistake. The court overruled a demurrer to the petition, and from a judgment the defendant appealed.

1Per curiam

The case comes to the court on the certificate of the trial judge, because of the amount in controversy. Appellee makes the point of the jurisdiction of this court, because it does not appear when the certificate was .signed. The point is well taken. It does not appear when it was signed, — whether at the time of entering judgment, or at the term. The fact is jurisdictional. This precise question was presented and ruled upon in Hakes v. Dott, 54 Iowa, 17. The appeal is dismissed.
