MeeriMON, J.

The plaintiff moved at the present term, to re-instate upon the docket a supposed ‍​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‍appeal, dismissed at the. last October Term of this Court.

We do not deem it necessary or proper to find the facts involved in the motion and decide upon ‍​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‍its merits, because what seems to have been intended to be the transcript of an appeal, is not such transcript in any legal sense. It does not appear ‍​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‍from it that a Superior Court was held at any time or place, or that a Judge held a term of the court, or gave a judgment from ‍​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‍which an appeal was or could be taken. The supposed transcript is so essentially defective, that it cannot give us jurisdiction to act upon it for any purpose. ‍​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‍The motion must therefore be dismissed as having been improvidently made.

It is so ordered.
