City of St. Louis v. Vaughn
Decision Date | 04 March 1918 |
Docket Number | No. 19077.,19077. |
Citation | 273 Mo. 582,201 S.W. 524 |
Parties | CITY OF ST. LOUIS v. VAUGHN. |
Court | Missouri Supreme Court |
Action by the City of St. Louis against Daniel R. Vaughn for violation of a city ordinance. Judgment for the City, and defendant appeals. Appeal dismissed.
Chas. P. Johnson and C. Orrick Bishop, both of St. Louis, for appellant. Charles H.
Danes and H. A. Hamilton, both of St. Louis, for respondent.
In this case the city of St. Louis complained against the defendant, Daniel R. Vaughn, for a violation of Ordinance No. 27113 of said city, approved July 14, 1913. The city sought to recover of defendant the sum of $500 as a fine. Judgment for the city, and defendant has appealed.
It is suggested in the brief of the respondent (city of St. Louis) that appellant has neither filed nor served a printed abstract of the record in this case, notwithstanding our rules 12, 13, and 14 (186 S. W. vii, viii), requiring the same. This suggestion is well taken. We find no printed abstract of the record on file in the case. For the appellant we find "Appellant's Statement, Brief, and Argument," and no other printed document in his behalf. In the early case of City of Kansas City v. Clark, 68 Mo. loc. cit. 590, it was held that a proceeding of the kind involved here was a civil suit. To like effect was the ruling in St. Louis v. Weitzel, 130 Mo. loc. cit. 612, 31 S. W. 1048, whereas Sherwood, J., said:
If this were a criminal case, this division of the court would have no jurisdiction. Our jurisdiction is dependent upon the fact that the suit is a civil action. Being a civil action our rules 12, 13, and 14, with reference to printed abstract of record, apply.
The appeal should be dismissed for failure to comply with the rules. It is so ordered. All concur, except BOND, P. J., absent.
