    COWDEN v. STEVENSON.
    Scire facias — order to quash writ — appeal—final judgment — two nihils — service.
    An appeal liesfiom the Court of Common Pleas, in all cases of final judgment, or order, which disposes of the subject. An appeal lies from an order quashing a writ.
    A scire facias must issue iu the county where the record is, and cannot be sent into another county for execution, without special provision of law.
    Two nihils returned to a scire facias, are held equivalent to services where the legislature has made no provision requiring other service.
    Appeal from the Common Pleas. This was a scire facias to obtain restitution of money collected upon a judgment, afterwards reversed. It was issued in Jefferson, directed to the sheriff of Tuscarawas county. The Court of Common Pleas quashed the writ, because it issued erroneously. From this order to quash, the appeal is taken.
    
      D. L. Collier, for the defendant,
    moved to quash the appeal, because the order quashing the writ is not a judgment from which an appeal lies. 2d. To quash the writ, if the appeal is sustained. Tappan, contra.
   By the Court.

The 108th section of the practice act of 29 O.L. 78, gives the appeal, in civil cases, from any judgment or decree of the Court of Common Pleas, in any case in which that Court has original jurisdiction. The practice under this law is only to allow appeals from final judgments, or those judgments which dispose of the subject matter before the court. This seems to us a case of that description. But that can make little difference to the plaintiff; for if the appeal be sustained, the writ must be quashed. The writ of scire facias can only be issued in the court where the record is; but the legislature has made no provision for directing a writ in a case situated as this is, to another county for service; nor is it absolutely necessary they should, for, in all cases of scire facias, two nihils, in practice, are held equal to service, and to authorize the court to proceed to judgment, unless there is special provision made for other service.

The appeal is sustained, but the writ is quashed at the plaintiff’s costs.
