Syllabus

<p>1. Appeal—revenue—judgment on special assessment. No appeal lies to an Appellate Court from a judgment of the county court against lots for a special assessment against the same by a city, for improving a street, but such appeal lies directly to this court.</p> <p>2. Section 88 of the Practice act, as amended in 1879, provides that in all cases relating to the revenue, etc., appeals shall be taken directly to the Supreme Court. The word “revenue” in that clause is held to embrace all taxes and assessments imposed by any public authority, and includes special assessments made by a city for any public improvement.</p>
