16 Tex. 590 | Tex. | 1856
This suit was brought by the defendant in error, in the County Court, to obtain a specific performance of a covenant for land. The record shows that the County Court rendered judgment in favor of the defendant in that Court, and the plaintiff claimed and was allowed an appeal; which does not appear to have been prosecuted ; but he removed the case into the District Court for revision by certiorari. In the District Court, a motion was made by the defendant to quash the certiorari; which was overruled, and judgment was rendered for the plaintiff, and a decree for a specific execution of the covenant. The defendant has brought the case to this Court by a writ of error, to review the judgment and decree of the District Court.
The only error assigned, is the overruling the motion to quash the certiorari. The assignment is general, without giving the specific grounds of objection to the certiorari. On the ground of a want of specification of the grounds of objection, the assignment might well be disregarded by this Court; and if the rule were to be strictly enforced, it would be disregard
Judgment affirmed.
