The mode of taking appeals in criminal cases prescribed by law, is laid down in Wood's Digest, 308, Art. 1706, Secs. 486, 488: " The motion must be served on the defendant (where the People appeal) if he resides in the county; if not, then on the attorney who appeared for him in the trial below. If such service cannot be made. then by advertisement."
JUDGES: Crocker, J. delivered the opinion of the Court. Cope, C. J. concurring.
OPINION
CROCKER, Judge
The respondent moves to dismiss the appeal on the ground that the notice of appeal was served on his attorney, who lived out of the county, instead of on him personally, as required by the statute, (Wood's Digest, 308, Sec. 488,) he residing in the county at the time.
The objection is well taken, and the appeal is therefore dismissed.
