— Aрpellants instituted this action against appellees to quiet title to certain real estate in Vigo County, Indiana, of which they clаim ownership under the will of one Jennie Goldberg, deceased. Uрon the trial of the causé there was a finding and judgment for the appellees, and this appeal followed.
Appellees insist thаt the judgment of the trial court should be affirmed because appellants’ brief does not comply with clause 5 of Rule 22 of the rules оf this court, and assert that the Rules of Court are binding, not only on litigants, but also upon this court. We must agree with the latter contention.

State
(1926),

No error assigned by specificаtions two to eleven, inclusive, is a proper independent assignment of error.
Partlow
v.
Mitchell
(1919),
Appellants’ brief under “Points and Authorities” has but one “hеading” as follows: “The finding of the court and the judgment is contrary to law and is not sustained by sufficient evidence.” Under this heading then appeаrs separately numbered statements of the contentions of the parties and of the grounds of such contentions, which is followed by 16 separately numbered propositions of law, with authorities citеd in support thereof, but no attempt is made to apply any оf such propositions to particular assignments of error, and they are stated in abstract form. No one of the errors proрerly assigned as such in appellants’

“Assignment of Errors” appears under “Points and Authorities.” From the heading used we might infer that these abstract propositions of law were meant to apply to the assigned error that “the court erred in overruling the motion for a new triаl,” but no attempt is made to state wherein the finding is not sustained by sufficient еvidence, or is contrary to law, and the assignment that the judgment is contrary to law or that it is not sustained by sufficient evidence presents nо question. Rule 22 (cl. 5) of the rules of this court provides that the several propositions or points presented in an appellant’s brief shall be grouped under a separate heading for eаch error relied on, and a violation of this provision has frequently been held to require an affirmance of the judgment below.
