Mills v. Noles

1 Ohio 534

Opinion

By the Court :

The court of common pleas ought not to have taken upon themselves the trial of the facts of the cause upon submission without the assent of the defendant. It is only where both parties consent that the court can try the cause. But this mistake can not be corrected upon a motion to quash. Here is a formal decision of the cause, and a judgment rendered, from which an appeal is regularly taken. It can not be quashed.
