Bespondent moves to dismiss this appeal upon several grounds. An action was instituted to foreclose a delinquency tax certificate, of which the respondent was the holder. On the 21st day of August, 1903, an order of default was entered against appellant, and this was followed by the entry of a decree of foreclosure on the same day. Thereafter and on May 27, 1904, the appellant appeared in the same action, and, by motion, asked the court for an order vacating said decree. The motion to vacate was denied by an order duly entered June 17, 1904. Hotice of appeal from the last mentioned order was served upon respondent’s attorney August 30, 1904.
*136The first ground urged for dismissal is that the appeal was not taken within thirty days after the entry of the order denying the motion to vacate the judgment. Respondent contends that the appeal should have been taken within thirty days, under the terms of § 4, p. 74, et seq., Sess. Laws, 1903. It will be observed, by reference to that section, that appeals from the judgment of foreclosure in a tax proceeding must be taken within thirty days, and respondent urges that the same rule must apply to an appeal from an order in the same action refusing to vacate such a judgment. Appellant argues that the statute cited does not apply to appeals where the litigation is between a private certificate holder and the owner of the property, and that it applies solely to foreclosures conducted.in the name of the county. We find no sufficient reason appearing in the statute for such a distinction, and we believe the time named in the statute was intended to apply to all appeals from foreclosure judgments in tax proceedings.
But appellant further urges that, in any event, the statute especially relates to appeals from a tax foreclosure judgment only, and' that this is not such an appeal, hut is one from an order refusing to vacate a judgment. It is argued that, since the revenue statute does not, in terms, refer to appeals from such orders or judgments as the one sought to be' reviewed here, we must therefore refer to the general statute relating to appeals. If the general statute applies here, the appeal was taken in time. The judgment was final as to appellant’s demand, and the appeal was taken within ninety days. The revenue statute cited, in terms, provides that “appeals from the judgment of the court may be taken to the supreme. court at any time within thirty days” etc. It is true, the judgment theretofore specially mentioned in the stat*137ute is the one foreclosing the tax lien, hut the words “the judgment of the court” seem to be broad enough to comprehend any final judgment rendered in the action against the owner of the land whereby he is deprived thereof. The tax foreclosure proceeding is a special one, governed by special statutory rules, and, if appellant’s contention should obtain, it would lead to the anomalous result of a special limitation as to an appeal from the judgment of' foreclosure, while the general limitation would apply to another order or judgment in the same proceeding, and one which is final in effect. Either one is “the judgment of the court,” and we think must be subject to the same limitation under the statute.
The appeal is therefore dismissed.
