33 S.C. 607

Dial v. Dial

Supreme Court of South Carolina

Decided December 17, 1890

Supreme Court of South Carolina · decided 1890-12-17

These were two motions to restore to the docket the two cases (Nos. 2713 and 2714) upon affidavits showing that the attorneys for respondent had put the manuscript into the printer’s hands in ample time, with instructions to file with the clerk of this court three days before the call of the Circuit; that the printer’s failure so to do had resulted in one case from a press of public printing, and in the other from the verbal agreement of the clerk on the proper day that he…

Decided 1890-12-17

This case was followed by the decision in Clark Bros. v. Wimberly (24 S. C., 138), which sustained the former ruling. In the case of Tribble v. Poore (28 S. C., 565), the motion was to reinstate an appeal dismissed by the clerk for failure to file the return within the time required. The court then decided that the order of the clerk was ex parte, and was-not such a judgment as would support a plea of res adjudicata, and could be reviewed.

¶3Under these decisions the court is compelled to regard its former judgment in each of these cases as conclusive and final. The appellant had a right to ask for relief under the act of 1880 before the motion to dismiss was made; but not having availed himself of this privilege, and a motion having been made, argument on both sides fully heard and considered, and the judgment of the court made thereon dismissing the appeal, it is now too late to make such a motion. Motion in each case is refused.

¶4In the case of Hill v. Salinas, a petition for rehearing was filed and refused December 19, 1890-No. 2718.
