Opinion

         Appeal from the District Court of the Seventh Judicial District, Napa County.

         COUNSEL:

         Crocker & Robinson, for Appellants.

          Boggs & Maupin, for Respondents.


         No briefs on file.

         JUDGES: Heydenfeldt, J., delivered the opinion of the Court. Murray, C. J., concurred.

         OPINION

          HEYDENFELDT, Judge

         The error relied upon is the rendition and entry of judgment at a time when there was no legal term of the District Court. This assignment is sustained by the record; so upon the authority of Smith v. Chichester , 1 Cal. 409, the judgment is reversed and the cause remanded.

Same point again decided, Peabody v. Phelps 7 Cal. 53 See 2 Colo. 387.
