Josephus Croft vs. Aaron P. Miller and others.
    December 30, 1879.
    Appeal — Garnishment.—An order of a district court for judgment against a garnishee is not appealable.
    
      Daniel Rohrer, for appellant.
    
      .Emory Clark, for respondent.
   Berry, J.

This is, in effect, an appeal from an order of the district court for Nobles county, for judgment against a- garnishee. Gen. St. 1878, e. 66, § 197, enacts that any party to a garnishment proceeding, deeming himself aggrieved by any order or final judgment therein, may remove the same from a district court-to the supreme court, by appeal, in the same cases, in like manner, and with like effect as in a civil action.

That no appeal lies from an order for judgment in a civil action has been settled by several decisions of this court. Lamb v. McCanna, 14 Minn. 513; Rogers v. Holyoke, 14 Minn. 514; Searles v. Thompson, 18 Minn. 316; Ryan v. Kranz, 25 Minn. 362; Langdon v. Thompson, 25 Minn. 509; Chesterson v. Munson, ante, p. 303. Though the point of non-appealability is not made by counsel, we cannot overlook it, and the appeal is accordingly dismissed.
