Fehring vs. Swineford.
    
      Notice of Appeal.
    
    1. An appeal from a judgment must be dismissed if it appears that when. notice of such appeal was given, the judgment had not been entered.

      George JB. Frances, for plaintiff and respondent,
    moved to dismiss the appeal.
    
      Knowles & Babcock, contra.
    
   Dixon, C. J.

Counsel for the plaintiff objects that the appeal taken by the defendant is not valid, and should be dismissed.' The notice is of an appeal “ from the judgment and order of the circuit court, entered on the twenty-fifth day of January, 1873.” The undertaking is as upon an appeal from a judgment. The objection urged is, that no judgment had been entered at the time the appeal, was taken. An examination of the record shows no judgment; and of course the appeal must fail on that ground, if there was no other defect. But the notice of appeal is faulty iii being both from a judgment and an order. Such a notice is badand the appeal cannot, for this reason as well as the other, be sustained. Noble v.
