1. ““The defendant in error challenges the jurisdiction of this court on the ground that the proceeding in error was not commenced within thirty days after the final judgment dissolving the temporary.injunction. General pleadings were filed by both parties, the cause tried on its merits, and judgment rendered dissolving the temporary injunction, and for costs. It is contended that this court cannot acquire jurisdiction to reverse a judgment vacating an injunction, unless the proceeding be instituted in this court within thirty days from the date of the rendition of such judgment, as provided in section 5053, General Statutes of 1901. The provisions of that section have application only to proceedings to reverse interlocutory orders dissolving injunctions. They have no application to proceedings in error to reverse a final judgment in an injunction suit.” (p. 161.)”
