Kirby v. Robbins

Per Curiam. In this case, there was a judgment by default against the appellant, who was the defendant, in the Common Pleas. But the record fails to show that, prior to the taking of the appeal, there was a motion in that pourt to set aside the default. Hence, the cause is not properly before us. We have repeatedly decided that “where a judgment is taken by default, a motion to set aside the default must precede an appeal to this Pourt.” Blair v. Davis, 9 Ind. R. 236.—Harlem v. Edwards, and other cases, at the present term (1). J. Gavin and O. B. Hord, for the appellant. J. L. Ketcham, and I Coffin, for the appellee. The appeal is dismissed -with costs.
