Lyon v. Byington
Supreme Court of Iowa
Appeal from Johnson District Court. ACTION on a promissory note. The petition prays for judgment for the sum of seven hundred dollars “with interest and costs.” The defendant made a special appearance and objected to the sufficiency of the notice, for the reason that it does not give the name of the state in which the action is commenced. The objection was overruled, and defendant answered. Trial, and judgment for plaintiff, and defendant appeals.
1Opinion of the Court
WRIGHT. C. J.
I. Tbe original notice was not defective in .omitting tbe name of the State. It follows tbe form given in tbe Code, and more is not required.
II. The action was commenced prior to tbe October term, 1857, of tbe Johnson District Court, and judgment rendered in January, 1859. It is not true, therefore, that the judgment was rendered at the appearance term. Appellant, in this respect, mistakes the record. And tb.e same may bo said of tbe assignment, based upon tbe ground that tbe judge trying tbe cause was plaintiff’s attorney. Judge Dillon and not Judge Miller tried tbe cause.
