The act of 1875 requiring bills of exception to be tendered within sixty days from the date of the decision in the event the court does not adjourn within thirty days from the time it convened, does not authorize delay in tendering to more than thirty days after the adjournment, though within sixty days from the decision. The law. as found in section 4252 of Code, applies to such cases, and the act of 1875 will be construed so as to accelerate the review of cases ‘¡tied at sessions which last more than thirty days. — See Forsyth vs. Preer, Illges & Co., September term, 1879.
