Webb v. Hanson

California Supreme Court

Decided January 15, 1852

California Supreme Court · decided 1852-01-15

Webb petitioned the Court of Sessions of Yuba County for a ferry license across Feather River, near Yuba City, stating that he was “the owner, or” had a possessory right to the land on both sides; and that he had given the notices required.

Decided 1852-01-15

Justice Murray

¶1delivered the opinion of the Court. This is

¶2an appeal from a judgment, affirming an order of the Court of Sessions of Yuba county, granting the respondent a right of ferry. Cognisance of these matters is given by law to the Court of. Sessions; and their action may be reviewed by the District Court. No appeal is provided, in such cases, from the judgment of the District Court. The record does not show that the judgment was rendered in a suit for a tax, toll, impost, or municipal fine;” nor that the amount exceeds $200. So that, there being no statutory provision for an appeal, and the case not falling within the constitutional provision, this Court has no jurisdiction over the matter.

¶3The appeal is dismissed.

¶4The appellant filed a petition for a rehearing. The petition was overruled at the ensuing term.
