California Supreme Court · decided 1879-12-30

<p>APPEAL from Sixteenth Judicial District, Mono County.</p> <p>The facts in this case are similar to those in People v. Ship-pee, 53 Cal. 675.</p>

Relies on People ex rel. Murphy v. Shippee, McKee & Co.

Decided 1879-12-30

By the COURT.

¶1The demurrer to the complaint ought to have been sustained. The complaint does not aver that at the time of the assessment, or afterward, the assessor demanded of the defendant the statement required by the first section of the act of March, 1874 (Stats. 1873-74, p. 376). Unless such demand was made, the defendant was not in default, whether he had then determined to remove the sheep to another county or subsequently decided on such removal: People v. Shippee, 53 Cal. 675.

¶2*70'Judgment reversed and cause remanded, with an order to the court below to sustain the demurrer to the complaint. Remittitur forthwith.'

¶3Note.—Five other cases—No. 6168, People v. Ramsey; No. 6167, People v. Delaney; No. 6169, People v. Ferry; No. 6164, People v. Dickenson; and No. 6165, People v. McKinney— were decided in the same way upon the authority of the People v. Shippee, 53 Cal. 675.
