J.\nA default judgment was. entered against appellant by a Justice of the Peace in precinct No. 1, Eoosevelt County, from which he appealed to the District Court. In that court a motion was interposed to dismiss the appeal, upon the ground that no appeal could be taken from a default judgment, entered by a Justice of the Peace, which was sustained. The sustaining of this motion presents the only question for review.\nSection 3305, C. L. 1897, provides:\n\"Any person aggrieved by any judgment rendered by any Justice of the Peace, may appeal by himself, his agent or attorney, to the District Court of the County where-the same was rendered,\u201d etc.\nWhile section 3365 reads:\n\u201cIn all eases before a Justice of the Peace in which judgment shall be rendered against any party, either party may take his appeal to the District Court.\u201d\nThe above sections, it will be observed, confer the right of appeal upon \u201cany person aggrieved\u201d by any judgment, and the right is-extended to \u201call cases.\u201d This-being true, a defendant would have the right to appeal from a default judgment, unless some other section of the statute expressly or impliedly denies the right. Appellee has not called our attention to any provision of. the-statute in any way limiting or restricting the above sections in this regard. Under section 3317, all cases appealed to the District Court are tried ele novo.\n\u201cA statute allowing an appeal from \u2018all final judgments\u2019 includes and authorizes an appeal from a judgment by default.\u201d 6 Ency. PI. & Pr. 227.\nSection 3305, supra, was construed by the Territorial Supreme Court in the case of Douthitt v. Bailey, 14 N. M. 530. The Court say:\n\u2018\u2018There is no\" restriction as to what cases can be appealed; the statute is mandatory and says in direct words that \u2018any person aggrieved by any judgment rendered by any justice may appeal,\u2019 consequently any person even if he-enters the plea of guilty before a Justice of the Peace has the right to appeal, and on his filing the proper bond, the-Justice is bound to grant the appeal to the District Court, where the case is tried do novo.\u201d\nAppellee relies upon the cases of Clendenning v. Crawford & McLaughlin, 7 Neb. 474; State v. Oliver (Wash.) 41 Pac. 895; Wiggins v. Henderson, (Nev.) 36 6 Pac. 459; Whipple v. Southern Pacific Co., (Ore.) 55 Pac. 975, but an examination of the statutes upon which the-decision in each case was based, will disclose entirety different provisions respecting the right of appeal, from those in force in this jurisdiction.\nFor the reasons stated, the judgment and order are-therefore reversed, and the cause remanded for further proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion.", "type": "majority", "author": "EOBEETS, C.
