¶1Plaintiff recovered a verdict on February 29, 1912, on' which judgment was entered on March 2, 1912, and a copy of the judgment with notice of entry was duly served on the same day.

¶2On March fourth, defendant entered and on March fourth or sixth he served a copy of the usual order denying his motion for a new trial, which recited that it was entered on motion of the plaintiff’s attorney. This order was never served upon defendant, but was only served by defendant upon plaintiff.

¶4The time to serve a notice of appeal from the judgment ex pired on March twelfth (Code Civ.
