Syllabus

<p>Justices oe the Peace @=>152—Appeal—Pasties.</p> <p>A joint judgment in justice court was entered against several defendants. One of tbe defendants appealed tbe case to the district court, under the provisions of section 1827, Comp. Laws Alaska 1913. On motion to dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction, held that, while section 1827 provides that “either party may appeal from a judgment given in a justice’s court,” it does not authorize one only of several joint plaintiffs or defendants to appeal; that the phrase “either party” means either the plaintiffs or the defendants, whether joint or several; it means that either the plaintiffs or the defendants may appeal, but not one of several plaintiffs or defendants.</p> <p>(@^s>See same topic & KEY-NUMBER in all Key-Numbered Digests & Indexes</p>
