Court | Missouri Supreme Court |
Appeal from McDonald Circuit Court. — Hon. Emory E. Smith, Judge.
REMANDED TO THE SPRINGFIELD COURT OF APPEALS.
O.R. Puckett for appellants.
James M. Tatum for respondent.
An appeal to the Springfield Court of Appeals from an order of the circuit court overruling a motion to revoke an order appointing a receiver. That court transferred the case to this court. In doing so it said:
[1] We did not assume jurisdiction of the cited cases by virtue of said statute. An appeal to the court having appellate jurisdiction is allowed by said statute from an order refusing to revoke an order appointing a receiver. The statute then directs this court to summarily hear and determine appeals from such orders and directs that such cases be advanced on the docket. [Sec. 1018, R.S. 1929.] The appellate jurisdiction of this court does not clearly appear on the face of the opinions in the cases cited by the Court of Appeals. Of course it should so appear. In those cases we review orders of the court refusing to revoke orders appointing receivers and said opinions indicate that we assumed jurisdiction under the statute fixing jurisdiction by the amount in dispute. It must be assumed that the records in those cases fixed appellate jurisdiction in this court. Neither the cases nor statute cited by the Court of Appeals authorize this court to assume jurisdiction of this appeal.
[2, 3] And we do not think the title to real estate is involved in this record. The petition in the suit to quiet title is conventional. The answer admits defendants are in possession, claiming to be owners, and defendants join with plaintiff in asking the court to determine the interests of the parties. On motion of plaintiff and after hearing evidence, the court appointed a receiver and made an order authorizing and directing him to take charge of care for and manage the real estate pending litigation.
Defendants filed a motion to revoke said order. The motion was overruled and defendants appealed from the ruling on said motion. A review of that ruling in no way involves title to the real estate. But the appointment was made ancillary to a suit involving title. Even so, does it follow that this court has jurisdiction of this appeal? We do not think so. Defendants were not compelled to appeal from the interlocutory judgment refusing to revoke the order appointing a receiver. The statute under consideration (Sec. 1018, R.S. 1929), after authorizing appeals from certain interlocutory judgments, provides as follows: "... But a failure to appeal from any action or decision of the court before final judgment shall not prejudice the right of the party so failing to have the action of the trial court reviewed on an appeal taken from the final judgment in the case." Thus it appears that he defendants on the adverse ruling of the court on their motion to vacate had the right to save exceptions by...
