Belles v. Carroll

Decision Date23 March 1893
Citation6 Wash. 131,32 P. 1060
PartiesBELLES v. CARROLL ET AL.
CourtWashington Supreme Court

Appeal from superior court, Pierce county; Frank Allyn, Judge.

Action by Peter Belles against William Carroll and others to foreclose a mortgage. Judgment by default was entered against defendants, and they appeal. Appeal dismissed.

J. F. Ramage, for appellants.

H. G. Rowland, for respondent.

HOYT, J.

Appellants by this appeal seek to reverse a judgment alleged to have been irregularly entered against them as upon their default. The record shows that no motion was made in the court below to set aside the judgment, and, such being the case, this court will not enter into an investigation of the merits of the question as to whether or not such judgment was in fact irregularly entered, as in our opinion the appellants should have sought a remedy against such judgment, by motion or otherwise, in the court below, before coming here. As we refuse to enter into an investigation of the merits, we shall not affirm the judgment of the court below, but will simply dismiss the appeal, so that the rights of the appellants to move against the judgment in the lower court shall not be interfered with.

DUNBAR, C.J., and SCOTT and STILES, JJ., concur.
