Syllabus

<p>APPEALABLE ORDER — EXCEPTIONS TO BINDINGS — REVIEW ON APPEAL — FOREIGN CORPORATIONS — SERVICE OF PROCESS.</p> <p>An order quashing a summons is, in effect, a determination of the action or proceeding, and therefore constitutes an appealable order, under Laws 1893, p. 119, § 1 (Bal. Code, § 6500).</p> <p>The failure to except to the findings of fact and conclusions of law made by the court in a proceeding tried before it exclusively upon affidavits will exclude consideration of the affidavits by the supreme court on appeal and confine the review by that court to the question of whether the findings of fact warrant the conclusions of law.</p> <p>Service of summons upon an officer of a foreign corporation, who is temporarily present in the state, will not confer jurisdiction over the corporation, when the latter has never done any business in the state, dot maintained an office for that purpose nor appointed an officer or agent in the state for any purpose whatever.</p>
