Legal Opinion

Howell v. Howell

California Supreme Court

Decided January 20, 1894No. 18350PublishedCited by 8 opinions

Motion to dismiss art appeal from an order or decree of the Superior Court of Tehama County requiring the defendant to pay the plaintiff permanent alimony. The facts are stated in the opinion of the court.

1Opinion of the Court

The decision rendered is, in effect, a final judgment, from which an appeal properly lies. (Sharon v. Sharon, 67 Cal. 196; Code Civ. Proc., sec. 577; California etc. R. R. Co. v. Southern Pacific R. R. Co., 67 Cal. 63.)

Charles G. Nagle, and W. Henry Jones, for Respondent.

An order allowing alimony is an order after judgment, which is itself subject of appeal. (Sharon v. Sharon, 79 Cal. 702.) In case of an appeal from any decision made after judgment, a bill of exceptions is the proper, and the only proper, mode of authentication. (Code Civ. Proc., sec. 651; Somers v. Somers, 81 Cal. 608.)
