Syllabus

<p>APPEAL — WAIVER OP NOTICE — JUDGMENT LIEN — FRAUDULENT CONVEYANCES. . ■</p> <p>The notice of appeal prescribed by the statute is essential to confer jurisdiction on the appellate court, and it is not competent for the parties to waive it.</p> <p>The judgment lien provided by Code Proc., §460, as attaching to all the real estate of the judgment debtor in any county after the filing of a transcript thereof in the office of the county auditor, will not attach to lands conveyed by the judgment debtor to his wife, prior to the rendition of judgment, although the judgment was for a community debt'; and the subsequent conveyance of such lands, for value prior to any proceedings taken by the judgment creditor attacking the transfer from husband to wife, is sufficient to pass the land free from all claims of the judgment creditor.</p>
