Blythe v. Ayres
Opinion
Lead Opinion
Henshaw, J.
Appellant, Henry T. Blythe, and others moved the court sitting in the matter of said estate to dismiss the above-entitled proceeding, upon the ground that the party entitled to judgment therein had neglected to demand and have the same entered for more than six months. (Code Civ. Proc., sec. 581, subd. 6.) His motion being denied this appeal is taken.
The facts are that in the proceeding had under section 1664 of the Code of Civil Procedure, in the matter of said estate, the order or decree of the court determining heirship and rights to property was, upon October 22, 1890, spread at length upon the probate minute-book as required by section 1704 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
Appellant prosecuted his appeal from this decree, basing it, as appears from the transcript therein filed, upon the entry thereof made in the minute-book. That appeal having been decided adversely to his contention, he makes this motion to dismiss all proceedings taken under said section 1664 for the neglect of respondent, but lately discovered, in failing to have the decree or judgment from which he appealed entered in the proper book.
