    AJUGDMENT in favor of tne defendant against the plaintiff, for costs,. was entered in a justice’s court in 1 Chemung county, on the 14th day of November, 1865. The plaintiff served notice of appeal from-such judgment, upon the justice, on the 4th day of December, 1865, and upon the respondent’s attorney, (the respondent being a non-resident of, and absent from, the county,) on the 5th day of December, 1865. The county court of Chemung county dismissed the appeal, on the ground, as is alleged, that the ' notice of appeal was not served on the respondent in time. • This is an appeal from such order of the Chemung county court.
    
      
      Dailey & Bachman, for the appellants.
    
      Christie & Barlow, for the respondents.

         The Code (§ 353) requires notice of appeal to be served “ within twenty days after judgment.”
    
   By the Court, Boardman, J.

The notice was not served in time. The day on which judgment was entered by the justice should not be counted. That would leave sixteen days in ¡November, and four days in December, within which the plaintiff might have served his notice. That time expired with the 4th day of December, and service on the 5th was too late, and worthless. (Phelan v. Douglass, 11 How. 193, and cases cited.)

The case of Gallt v. Finch, (24 How. 195,) is not in point, because the court there hold that the time did not begin to run in that case until the order appealed from had been entered with the clerk, which was on the 27th day of May, and that notice of such order before it was entered was a nullity. The appeal was taken on the 27th of June, the last of the thirty days allowed for an appeal, in that case.

The order of the Chemung county court, dismissing the appeal in this action, must be affirmed, with $10 costs.
