73 Iowa 13 | Iowa | 1887
This cause was submitted to this court at the December term, 1886, and an opinion was filed at the March term, 1887. (71 Iowa, 866.) By reference to that opinion, it will be seen that the cause was submitted witli certain motions and an agreement to dispense with a transcript, unless this court should be of opinion that a transcript was necessary to a proper disposition of the appeal, in which case counsel for appellant was to be granted a reasonable time to file the transcript. The opinion filed set aside the submission, and continued the cause to give time to file the transcript, which having b’een done, the cause is again submitted.
The appellees, in an amended, or rather an additional, abstract, denied the correctness of appellant’s abstract, and averred that the testimony was not reduced to writing and filed and certified within six months after the trial; that the stenographer’s notes of the testimony were filed within six months; but the same were not transcribed into long-hand and filed. This additional abstract was controverted by counsel for appellant; and, on the 19th day of April, 1887, a complete transcript was filed, from which we are for the first time enabled to determine the question in dispute as to the record.
It appears from the transcript that the cause was tried at the November term, 1885, and that the original short-hand .notes were filed and properly certified by the judge at that term. The decree was entered on the 4th day of February, 1886, and an appeal was taken on the 3d day of May, 1886. The transcript shows that the translation of the short-hand notes was not filed in the clerk’s office until April 13, 1887,
Affirmed.
