[No. 644.
    Decided October 20, 1892.]
    T. J. Cusick, Respondent, v. Robert Beyers, Appellant.
    
    APPEAL — ORAL NOTICE — TIBIE OP GIVING.
    Notice of appeal given orally in open court must be given at the time of rendition of judgment in order to be effective.
    
      Appeal from Superior Court, Douglas County.
    
    
      Pendergast <& Malloy, for appellant.
    Canton, Berry <& Gabon, for respondent.
   The opinion of the court was delivered by

Scott, J.

Respondent moves to dismiss this appeal because no notice thereof was given. Several days after the rendition of judgment it appears by a journal entry that appellant attempted to give notice of appeal orally in open court. The statute makes no provision for such a notice. A notice given in open court must be given at the time judgment is rendered, and it not appearing that the respondent was even present at the time, or that he had any notice of the appeal in fact, the motion to dismiss must be granted.

Anders, C. J., and Stiles, Dunbar and Hoyt, JJ., concur.
